Tire size for wire wheels

I am looking for more of a classic look anyway & was wondering what people are running on their wires. I don't care about originality, (redlines), but am looking for a decent tire that will give good handling on a stock car, with uprated shocks, bushings and front sway bar.

I am using the Vredestein 185HR15 on the 72 spoke Dayton w/w.

They're pricier now than when I bought them, but you can easily spend that much on a modern performance tire. You can check the gallery for pics of my car. They are the same profile and width as the original 185 Michelin. To my understanding they are more of a modern tire design and construction than the Michelin X.
