Default Need help with tire purchase -1965

Greetings, just bought a 1965 Coupe with knockoff's on it. Going to switch the bias tires to radials. I know that the original OEM size is 205-75-15 but would like to change to either a 215-70-15 or 215-65-15 for a wider tire but retain proper fit with no problems to wheel well , turning etc . PS already checked earlier threads about this....recommendations which one to buy ??

Thanks.

I put 215/70/15 DiamondBack Michelin tires on my 67, no fitment issues.
