All 4 tires are Dunlop Direzza 205/55 R15

I know the 205/55 R15 will fit into my stock 72 body, as it came with 205’s
So what you have are 6 & 7's

the 6's are ET36 the 7's areET49


205/55 is a good choice

205/60 is a tad taller

205/50 is shorter

The 7s will want spacers for use in back no matter what tire is chosen and if they are the wheels I suspect them to be will also need inner tubes
the size of the spacers wanted will depend on the tire chosen, you could use 225/50 or 215/60 or the 205s used on the 6s each will want a different spacer thickness

if using 215/60 on the 7s that will also want a 185/70 or 195/60 on the front 6's

there is also a good chance that the fronts are also tube tube too

to determine whether these are tube type or not look at the wheel profile
no safety bead - tube type



a composite pic, tubeless w/ safety bead on left, tube type w/o safety bead on right



all these are tube less
