Toyo 225/75x15 with the 15x6.
If I were to do it over again, I think the 215/75 would handle tighter. These toyos seem to roll on the rim a bit with the 15x6, as the manufacturer recommends 6.5 rims or wider. I did have 225/75 toyos on my 15x6.5 steelies, (1977 Cordoba)and they drove very much improved around curvy roads. They also gave the tire more room (less of the sagging look) to spread.
However, I tend to go way to the stock side, as I am an old fogey, and drove these cars when they were new.
Plus I like the original looks,,,,,you might look around for the C body thru till the early eighties, as I have found 6.5 rims on 80' models, If all you can find are the 5.5, I would definitely stick to the 215/75.
