Size Change
I noticed someone posted baout changing their tire size on their 17s on their 00+ bonne...but i was wondering what is the max width i can go on a 15x6 wheel? Currently running 205/70/15...i have always wondered what I could go up to without rubbing issues?

My 91 LE came from the factory with 215 65 15'*... I believe with my new wheels and tires the speedo is at 60 mph when my actual is 61.4 mph
But the ride and handling is improved with the lower and wider profile..
I would stick with a 225 if going to a 16" rim and 215 if you are keeping the 15'* you currently have

Tire size on H-body
I have Michelin Pilot 225/55/16'* on my 1991 Lesabre. They *almost* rub. *almost*. So im thinking you might have to remove some plastic with 17'* using 225'*. (grin)
I would imagine 215s in the 17 size would be JUST thin enough. But dont quote me on that.

With the 215 65 15 your speedo will read 1.1% faster than your actual speed
