Default Tire Size

I searched the Forum and cannot find an answer. Just bought some Western turbine Wheels, 15 x 7. What is a good tire size?? 64 with stock everything just don't like those hubcaps. What will work with NO cutting etc. on the car. Going to save the original wheels with the stock tires on them and those ugly caps.

thanks guys, your help has saved me hours of research.

IHMO The only tires that will have proper appearance and fit. Will be 205/75-15 or 215/70-15 the 215s will require a change in the speedo gear. Both will fit with NO issues.

215/65 is another size I have seen alot. Slightly lower profile than the 70's which also makes the tires look wider. 215/60's start to look alittle small, as in not tall enough.
