Yea I wouldent recomend anything larger than 205's. YOu could roll the fender lips a bit and maybe fit 215's. But dont think it would be worth the time.

I had to flare the front fender lips to fit the 205's (hi-po low profiles, square profile) without chewing away the outer shoulder of the tire during spirited cornering...

Many moons ago I ran 205/50-15s on the front and 225/50-15s on the rear, stock ride height, GSL, Enkie 15x7s, cant remember the offset. The rears would rub every once in a while......ended up leaving cuts on the side walls in some areas.

225/50/15s on Wed Autobahn in back
. On the '80 with RB springs and rolled fenderlip...no problems
. On the '84, stock goofy springs that have the butt way too high, some scraping with big bumps,,,with the RB springs installed (this weekend's project...), I know I'll have to roll the fenderwell lips again, but I don't know if I'll get the same results as the '80....I would think so, however...
