Thanks Joe; I reread the email from the seller, and it does say "stock 15 x 6" wheels.  Maybe they were an option? He's not the original owner, so who knows.  He does say he's got the original poverty caps that came with it.  It now has stock steelies with trim rings and volcano centers. I would think that 215R7015's would be right if that carries through? I've asked him for a clarification but no response yet.

I do have 14 x 6 magnums on my American, and I replaced those tires with 215/70R14 which was a nice size all around.  That car will go to 15's, and maybe 16's if I can find something I feel that goes with it.

On the wagon, it's a 6 cylinder car, and I really want to go back pretty much stock for a daily driver and something a little different for the car shows; just plan to clean it up and add AC, probably aftermarket, to deal with this brutal Southern heat...
