205/50/15 - shorter than stock size, the size I'm going to use on Virgo wheels
205/55/15 - about the stock diameter, a good size
205/60/15 - taller than stock, softer ride, good for a wagon

You could use a 215, but I probably wouldn't unless the tire has a stiff sidewall (high speed rating, usually). My dad uses 215's on 14x6 wheels, and he drives faster and harder than anyone I've ever seen, so I think it's safe. 225 is too wide unless it's a racing tire which would have a very stiff sidewall.
