What is the width of your rim? And, what year is your car?

Also, check out TireRack and Discount Tire Direct for checking out tire sizes for your car, under Plus Sizes 15".

Which wheels are they?

depending where you got them... the usual tired size for rims that I see from TireRack and Discount Tire Direct, or Wheels Next is around 205/35... but I ussually only see that with the 16-17" rims... so unless you can provide a little more info, we're just shooting in the dark.

Normal 15" rim width is 7". 15x7. Tho, I'm sure some out there like to run a tad wider, but that is the norm.
