Fuchs 6x15 tire size for 914-4

I am replacing my wheels and tires on my 914-4

> From: 4 lug Riviera 5x15 wheels that have 195/65 R15 tires on them (which make the rear fender clearance less than a fingers width - seems tight and have been told these tires are too big, but with no fender rub)

> To: 5 lug Fuchs 6x15 wheels from a 1970 Porsche 911 using PMB conversion kit, which appears to not add any extra space to the hub.

I've heard it's hard to find a Summer/Performance tire (low miles is fine) sized to fit. Would like maximum traction/surface, but also don't need to push the limit. Not racing, just weekend driver here.

My research results
> 185/65 R15 is the max width you should attempt to go.
> down to 170/65 R15

The tire depth ranges from 60, 65, 70, 75, is a mystery to me, except that I'm running 65 now and it clears fine. So I may stick with this.
Can anyone confirm tire size before I blow a wad on 4.
Thanks
