Default Cortina Tyre and wheels size.

Hey all.

My wifes got a TD cortina that she is cleaning up a bit. She wants to put a set of mini lite wheels on it and we are wondering what size will fit under the guard. We want to go 15" or 16" just so that it opens up our choice of sizing. I don't want to go to big. As we want to try and keep it looking some what standard.

Any help would be great.
