I have 205/70R15 on my saturn, that's the tallest tire that fill fit without rubbing on the front strut spring seat, and the clearance is very small. You won't find a 70 series tire smaller than 205 in a 15 inch wheel. I have had 165/80R15 on, the handling is not as good with the skinny 80 series, but they go through standing water just great. You should stick with the 185/65R15 or one size bigger.
