I`m thinking P215 is about the widest you should use
on a 15X7.You can use wider tires,but they balloon a
little bit if you go too wide,and the tire will twist
sideways slightly on the rim when you go around
curves.Maybe 70 series or lower wouldn`t do it.The
height figures in,too.I had 14X7`s?(maybe 14X6`s)on my
old Duster,and I can`t remember what size tires I had
on that thing,maybe P205/75R14.Anyway,they looked
kinda funny! The whole sidewall area on all four tires
was a light grey constantly,because the tires twisted
so much.You could lean against the car or push on
it,and watch the tires twist (or roll,however you
wanna look at it).If memory serves,it was not the most
handling car I ever had,especially with it lifted by
air shocks! :)
