195-65x15s on 15x6 Ford ranger wheels. About 3/4" taller than og 155x15tires.

Picked up a set of the 15" trim rings from IPD recently and they fit like a glove, will post Pix this evening. Kind of a budget setup but works pretty well.

Thinkin about 215-65x15s on 7" wheels (Also a Ranger wheel, but same appearance) in the back to "fill" the wheel wells a little more and give it a little more rake. Plenty of clearance. Could go lower, but I am moving 4 miles up a forest service road and sometimes the chuckholes are amazing.

Little dude handles almost as well as my 88 16V Jetta GLI. Little less ride quality (25 years of suspension technology is an advantage) but all things considered, I like it.
