Yeah, never dug the factory wheel and tire width. Always made the poor car look like an elephant on stilts. Great looking car you have there btw, but those 14s in the rear do look like they are begging for some relief.
The factory rim width will be your limiting factor. On the 15" rim, what is that - 7" I think? You'd be pushing 275 on a 9.5" wheel, so that's at least where you'd want to start IMO. You could probably get away with a 245 if it was an 8.5" rim.
