    A 195/75r15 is slightly shorter than a 215/75R14 and requires a 5" to 7" wheel; a 205/75R15 is slightly taller and requires a 5.5" to 7.5" wheel
    If you want somthing wider and about the same height you can use a 215/70R15 also requires a 5.5 to 7.5 wheel width. To get even wider you could use a 245/60R15 that uses a 6.5 to 9" wheel, it to is about the same height as the 215/75R14. I hope this helps
