What tire? I'm sure you could fit a 225 but a 205 would be better.

I would do 225s with spacers. Anything bigger than that is too much for a 7" wheel. Find some 8s.

205/60/15 in the rear

I have massaged the fenders to fit...

I have the room (flares) just wanted to know if the rims would hold wider tires.
