tire size for 15 X 5" rims

Hey guys,
I was wanting to get an opinion on what would be the best tire size for 15 X 5 Weld Draglites? Looks & Cost & Performance! Thanks

Look for a tire that fits what you want and need. The manufacturer will list recommended rim sizes for specific tire sizes. A 5" rim is not going to take a wide tire. I would have to think that the max will be someting in the range of a 225/70-15

A 215 65 seems too big to me..... just put them on my dads 5.0 hatch and they look big...
We're going to take them back and get some smaller tire.

Go with a 195 65 15 or a 70 series
