Question 1988 Mustang good front and rear tire size?

I need to no whats better i have these A-R-E 15" rims on my car 3 of them i went and talked to some guy and he told me i would have a pretty hard time finding the fourth one so instead of buying a oddball 15 " rim i bought a full set of 14x6 1/2 " 10 hole rims with the rivettes and so on. Well i need to know a good front and rear tire size to give my 88 mustang lx a beefy stance on these 14's or should i just stick to 15's either way i still need to know a good tire size..

Find out your wheel spacing and see what u can find at the junk yard. It is better to have all matching hardware than mismatched stuff. You should be able to find the old style 15" style if you look real hard or even Ebay.
