Default tire sizes

what size tires do you guys recommend for the front and rear on 10 hole rims? i want as wide as possible on the rear but do not want to have to worry about rubbing. thanks for your input!

i used the search feature [as i should have done in the first place] and it seems that the tire size of choice is 225/60/15..

Yes, 225/60R15 is the stock size for the aero SSPs. On my old '85 CHP (#E408395), I had that size on the front and I put 255/60R15 BFG tires on the back, which were more substantial without being obnoxious (in my opinion) -

Bought this size from Tread Depot.com for my 1990 MSHP SSP during the Black Friday sales reductions last year. I like them and like you stated the selections have become limited. I researched quite a bit on brand options and prices at the time. For the look, price and the brand options this was what I liked the most.
