Thanks for the info guys, Could you quote sizes that work. i.e.; 205 70R 15. Not sure what is the best aspect ratio, 70 0r 80r etc.

185/70/15 or
205/65/15
will both fit the rim, and will have similar outside diameter within about 2%
A lot of tyre manufactures make these sizes.

be aware that the fronts will possibly stick out of the guards.
also that number i quoted should be the 65 series.
