Will 205/60/15 work? Will that fill in the wheel gap?

205/55/15 max

205/50/15 with your 2"drop will fill the gap

i would go with a 205/50/15. but since you have a 15/6.5 rim, i think you could actually use a 215 tire. but don't quote me on that.

I would go one size below the stock sidewall size. I suppose you have an ex???? If so, anything less than stock and you are going to throw your speedometer off. So, I would stay as close as possible.

Oh, I think a 205/55/15 would be good.
