Nice ride man, I'm glad it went to someone who is going to take good care of it. Sounds like it's going to be seriously slammed! What wheels are you going to run?

Yup, the tires are 215-60-15s. They are the same height as a stock 165 but a "bit" wider ;)
That's about the widest 25" tall tire you can stuff under a bug. The rims are 6" wide, I had them custom built for my car. You could probably go up to 7" on the rim width, but you would still probably be limited to a 215, I don't think a 225 would fit w/o rubbing.
