Can anyone recommend a tire size for the stock 15" steel wheels? I would like to go as wide as possible, but not too tall. Car will be lowered. Additionally, is there any benefit to staggering the tires (smaller tires in front)? Sizes front vs. rear?

do you ever plan on rotating your tires? think hard on chosing directional tires tires too. it'll be kinda wierd when you have wider tires on the front than on the rear. 195/60-15s are a nice fit on stock 5.5" rims.
