I have a 1973 1800-es--have found some nice 1991 mags off a 940 which fit bolt pattern: wheel is 15X6 & offset is 25mm compared to the OEM original wheel which was 15X5.5 and a 24mm (confirm?).

Now looking for the best tire size.

Have been told 195/65/15 will work but also 205/60/15--any suggestions experience here?

I am thinking the lower and stiffer sidewall on the 60 might help with the "rolling" feeling on turns.
