5.60 was for 1600. 155 X 14. 6.15 for 2000, 165 x14
My Auto reference book gives max 165 on 4.00 rim and 175 on 4.5 rim. 185 too wide. 175/70 will give similar height and is available in Michelin Defender, about the only quality tire available for stock 4.5 rim. Buy the handy little Autoref book, tons of auto engineering data. Stock rims are strong. Oversize tires are bad.

175/65 is available but not in quality, much shorter too. Avoid ROC tires
