i think the factory recommends 195/65's.  don't remember the rim
size, but 6X15's are very commonly and cheaply available.  these

others.

RD Enterprises 800 683 2890.. best prices in town .. consider the Pro Gas
too.  speaking of which i haven't received mine yet... they should cost
in the $60-$70 range from RD.
