Welcome. You'll probably get a better answer if you start a new thread rather than resurrecting a nearly four year old thread that's only somewhat related to your topic, so now you have your own.
You'll have to tell us what "look better than stock" means to you, but I'm guessing you want more width. Your stock tires would have been either 205/75-15 or 215/75-15. These would be about 27" in diameter and 8" to 8.5" wide. You want to stay in that same diameter range, so I'd suggest either 225/70-15 (nearly 9" wide) or 255/60-15 (just over 10" wide). I don't know how the 255s would work on the front, but the 225s would be no problem. You could go 225/70 on the front and 255/60 on the back, but the backs would be about 1/4" smaller in diameter. You could even go 275/60-15 on the back but you'd be pushing the limits of the 7" wide rim. These really want a wider rim.

I currently have 205-75-15 on the front and 255-60-15 on the rear. When I get new fronts I'm going with 215-65-15 because it's a bit shorter than stock and will work better with the 255-60-15 in the rear.
Didn't have the guts to try the 275's though. they require at least a 7.5 inch width rim, but I had ralleys with 245-60-14's on a 14x6 ralley and it was fine
