What size rims?

Does anyone know what size rims I need? My tire size is 215 65 15. I have a 88 Camaro RS. Thanks a lot for your help. I want to get new rims, but I am not sure what size I need.

Those tires take a 15x7 rim. If you are buying new rims, why not buy new tires also. I would get atleast 16x8 rims and put 245/50/16's on them. it will look much better.

------------------
*1989 RS
*Red, Daytona Turbo fiberglass hood, chrome 16x8 IROC wheels
*355 CID
*TPI ported plenum, SLp siamesed runners, Edelbrock high flow intake
*Edelbrock TES Headers (getting SLP 1 3/4 this summer)
*Richmond 3.73
Modded 700-R4, 2800 stall converter
NO recent time slips.

You could fit 17's on there pretty easy, but with 18's I think you would need some lowering mods to make it look good. Talk to MR. IROCZ about how hard it is to make it look good. He will tell you how hard it is. I wouldnt go any bigger than 17's with low profile tires
