65 Monaco 15" wheels, how wide can I go?

[65Monaco]

Looking at replacing the original 14" wheels with OE style 15" rims and am trying to find out what the widest wheel/tire combo i can use on my '65 Monaco? Thx

What sidewall profile ratio you want?
75, 70, 65, 60, 55???

How wide can you go? How much money you got?

I had 10 inch tires 28 in tall on 8 in reversed mags no problem

Well, I'm really not sure about the ratios but I'd like to keep the height about the same as stock, so the speedo reads right.
The stock 14" tires are about 26" tall.
Ideally, I'd love to have 15x10" rear wheels with whatever the widest tire is.
I don't want to do any mods to the body, wheel wells, etc.
Coker tire has 15x10" "Mopar Standard" steel wheels with 5.50" backspacing.
If that won't fit, I'll go with the 15x8" ones with 4.50" bs.
On front, I was thinking maybe the 15x7" with 4.00" bs.
I appreciate all your input.

26" seems too small for stock. Thought it would be closer to 27 - 28". Here is a useful size chart.

Yeah, my stock tires are 215/70-14's so I guess almost 27"...
