Default Tires

The tires I MUST get rid of now before i wreck are P185/60R15's.....my question is...its hard to find these on ebay but P195's are easy to find...my question is whats the largest in both dimensions you could go (STOCK SUSPENSION) without scrubbing...any suggestions on tire size would be great...I dont care about the brand we will all start arguing over whos better than who lol!!! Just tire size guys on a stock 2004 sxt mtx

i went to a 195 width on my old se (14"rims) without issue. just remember your limited with the width of those narrow rims. honestly you might try a different kind of tire (same size). not sure if you can get them for the size but Dunlop Sport A2s are reasonable priced and perform pretty well. if you have cheapie tires on your car they will perform cheap. remember you get what you pay for. i would rather have some good 185/60/15s than cheap crap 205s.
