Tire SIze help

Hey all, Just put the new wheels and tires on my 64 Caliente, I do not like the tire size, too small. They are 15" wheels. Currently they are 195/60/15. The new tires will be WHITE WALLS also, Would a 215/60R15 be an ok size? Or what do you all think?

Thank

Re: Overheating Help I think?

Thanks for the info pops. No offense taken at all. I would love to learn and do it myself but I am leaning towards the less stressful way right and taking it to a shop and done right. I will try the hands over the Carb but and at least maybe narrow it down. Thanks again for the advice

Re: Overheating Help I think?

It idles good, and only seems to die when I out it into reverse when it is hot. When it is cool or freshly started it doesn't die in reverse, the idle gets a little rougher when hot but nothing crazy, I assumed radiator/ cooing system since it overflowed coolant. I am so new these were just my thoug...
