Given those are 15" rims, that might be hard. :)

Technically probably 255/60/15. Which has a bit too much sidewall. 235/60/15 is a better way to go.

245-50-16 or 255-55-16

like bonzo said, those are 15'' rims .. not 16''s.

When I get home I will see what the size of the tires are that are on my old wheels.

You can also do 245/60/15 but that size is becoming rare

That's cool.

But in the picture, the tires say 215/65/15.

id say a 235/60/15 would be a safe bet...if you go too wide itll not only look dumb with all that extra hanging off the wheel, but it wont do you any good performance wise either

Agree. Anything wider will probably be rubbing or worse.
