Stock size is P225/60R15 I think. If you need to go taller you might get away with a P225/65R15.

+1

you lose gear ratio by a taller tire.

racing tires are typically 26" 28" 29" 30" etc and stock tires aremore like 25.5"

buttaller than 26" could cause sidewall cutting issues i would have to think

I just like fat(not wide)tires, kinda gives it an old school stance.

Not really into low profiles.

255/60s will work on the rear. They are 27" tall.
