tire size for 6' wheels 120-130

I'm running 205/65R15 on my 122. I think that's about the closest to the original diamaeter size that you can find with wider tires. Drives fine too!

165/R15-25.33 inches
195/65R15-24.98 inches
205/60R15-24.69 inches
205/65R15-25.49 inches
205/70R15-26.30 inches

I had the original rims widened to 6 inchs with a +1 inch offset. If you are planning to change the rims, take the offset into consideration. Here's some good information on offset:

Here's a site to calculate speedo differences with different size tires:
