Crewmans and some utes came with 15x7..... Had a set of those and they had 205's come to think of it.

That certainly may be but I am not talking about utes or crewmans, but sedans and wagons just to clarrify

so you had a set of those wheels not a whole car brand new from factory with those wheels and tyres.........I only work on fact proved to me not hear say and as yet I still dont beleive in Bigfoot or UfO's

Sedans and wagons no doubt came in 15x6 however you didn't specify that in your original post.

Yep ya got me, although I was replying to someone who claimed that NO VZ'z came out with 15x6's
All good fun though hey

Hey I still dont believe in UFO's and Big foot and untill recently I didn't beleive there was such a thing as a 16x7 steel wheel pre VE but I it was proved to me that there was......but thats a whole other can of worms, I wonder what tyre size there had :rofl2:

Didn't think the pic of the tyres on the police pack VZ looked that bad.
And the VN looks **** hot.

OK so I was wrong about no VZ having 15x6 as a VZ with 6 inch rims is a good thing to forget ( I did indicate I was not totally sure). I do standby my previous that factory fitted 15x7 (chasers) on a VZ came with RE88 tyres in 205/65. All VZ utes with steel wheels had 15x7 rims. Not sure what 16 inch chasers before VE you mean (unless talking space savers or something)

From personal experience

15x6: best choice is 205/65 or a 215/60, you can get a 225/60 on and it will look pretty bulgy/awesome but I personally do think the bigger sidewall and bulge does affect handling a fair amount on a 6" wide rim.
15x7: 215/60 or a 225/60, either are a good choice

Really all depends what is important to you.
Handling: 215/60.... due to the smaller sidewall and wont have much bulge due to being on a 7" rim
Straight line: 225/60... more contact with the road, that said, a lot of people wont notice the difference in handling

Sidewall sizes
205/65: 133.25mm
215/60: 129mm
225/60: 135mm

also 205's, look pretty "meh" on a 7" wide rim.. Keep them on 6"

I've used 205, 215 and 225's on a variety of 6 and 7" rims, so this is my personal opinion but it's up to you to make your decision
