I think you can get away with 205/60/15 (0.95% speedometer difference), especially if the car isn't lowered. Hell, if you don't really care about the tires balooning out that much, go for 215/50/15, ha ha. OK I was just kidding about that last part. You can use the tire calculator here to calculate tire sizes, then search for them on 1010tires.com or tirerack:
Clicky
The selection for these sizes is staggering actually, you should search the wheel&tire section of this board to see what other people are running.

My old 03 SiR wheels came with 195/55R 15 and my stock LX steelie's came with 185/60R 15.
Neither of my wheels, from Factory, came with a 65 series tire....
