Owner's manual: The car has pressed steel wheels with lugs for the attachment of the hub caps.
All wheels are carefully balanced and the tyres are of the tubeless type. Tyre
size: 165 S 15, or 165 SR 15.

Back when there was no sidewall ratio. I believe the diameter for the 165 wheel was 26in, which would be spot on for 165/85/15. The 185/65/15 would be 24.5in which would increase the revs per mile about 50.

If you want to stick to 185, get a set with an aspect ratio of 75.

If you want to go to 175 width, use an aspect ratio of 80. Both of these will be 26 in diameter.
