Default ok I got a tire Question....

Ok I have a set of 15 inch rims, I have my15s successfulyon the back of the car with 205/75s. My question is... On the frontwhat tire size can I put on my 15 inch rims that won't screw up the speedometer and rub on the fender wall? I understand it will have to be a lower profile tire but I'm not sure what the size is. I would like to make the car match as far as mags go.

My 15' magsare originally off of a 1990 Daytona.

your best bet if you want the speedometer right on would be to run a 205/55
