<<205x60 on a 7" rim is just about right for spirited street driving. The 
section width is well matched to the rim width and the contact patch is 
about right for the light front end. If you go to a larger size in a street 
tire and plan any spirited driving you might want to look up "unladen 
understeer".>>

     I thank you and appreciate this information, but what I'm going for is not optimum performance and handling, but the look that I want.  

     I'm not asking what is the best tire size, I'm asking what is the widest that will fit on front and rear, 15x7 rims on my lowered 65 Corsa.

     Thanks again, and no hard feelings!  I'm in it for the looks more then anything.
