I'd have thought 7" about as wide as you want to go.

Halfords, apparently, are doing 15" wheels for £200 at the mo.

Unless you got mega horsepower, I reckon anything bigger than 205's will be a waste of rubber and cash. 195's seem the norm on 15" rims.

Rim width and tyre size should be in aligment with weight distribution suggest
185 fronts
195 rear
