15x7 with 4.5" BS whats a good size tire ?

need opinion on what a good looking tire size would be for my 82 with 15x7 rims with 4.5 backspacing i was thinking like a 255/60 ?

dont want anything crazy or anything just a good looking tire for daily steet driving but not some common/normal width tires either

i dont know how to convert these sizes to inch measurements(width and height) i dont understand the aspect ratio stuff, i have given up trying to figure it out




also what 15" tires usually came on these ?

i plan on going to the yards in springfield and seeing if i can find some nice tires for cheap of whatever size i decide on so i can get this car sitting right and paint the rims



thanks
