Default Need info on tires for my wheels.

Wus up scion family i don't post here alot but when i have a question i like to,
to see if you guys can help me out. I bought a set of Konig Retrack 15 x 7
for my box, I wanted to know what tires would be good and also what width.
I was looking @ a set they had in pepboys can't remember the name but i
like the width and thickness they have they were 195 60 15 i don't
want to do low profile not here in NY not worth it. So if there is an expert
here in this subject please let me know.
Thank U.

195/60/15 would be an ideal size. The overall diameter will very closely resemble that of the stock wheel. You're going to be gaining some extra rubber too.

195/60/15 would be ok
the stock tire size would look more streched

here is what i alwats play with when im looking at tires.

put the stock size on the left and what you want on the right and it will tell you everything you want to know

ok what i'm looking for is a wide look on the tires so i would have to go
with a 200 60 15 i'm just aking i don't realy know. i don't want to do the
strech look cause i think the lip around is going to be stiking out i want
a wide look like this. But with a little more rubber.

I want to Thank everyone for your help. I'm going to check
with pepboys and see how much they will cost they have a sale
buy 3 tires and get the 3rd one free thats a good deal i think.

225 is way too big for a 7" wheel. I was running 215 on my 7.5" back in the day. I have 195 now on a 7" and it's not overwhelming, but the 205 should do nicely.
