Any wheel with a 4 1/2 inch bolt circle will go on a 544. To use 195/60x15 tires I would think you would need a 6" wide rim. The dimension that you need to know is the back spacing of the wheel; that is the distance from the plane where the wheel bolts to the car to the back of the wheel. Without fender modification, a 6" wide wheel may be too much. My recollection of the past said that 5 1/2" wide was OK.

Fords and some Chrysler Products had the 4 1/2" bolt circle. Volvos from the 140s and newer have a 4 1/4" circle or what ever the metric equivalent is, and of course, don't fit.
