195/60R15 is stock size.
I'm running 205/50R15 Direzza Z1 Star Specs that fit very well, but are a smaller diameter then stock.
What use do you want the tire for? For the stock wheels it's hard to find good rubber, so i'd find good tires first, then see what sizes you can get. If you're just looking for general street tires, do you need a lot of rubber?
More rubber = more mechanical drag and more unsprung weight.
BTW, this should probably have been posted in the newbie section.

I always ran 205/55-15's on my stock wheels. They worked well.

I'm running 205/60 R15 on my stock rims, they don't look too bad. I only wish the stock rims were 7" or even 6.5" wide.

Yeah, stock wheels. The Direza's are great. Probably the best tire I found for the money. I've used them for autocross and had pretty good success. I know a lot of people running them this year.
The newbie forum is for questions like this, that aren't really technical, and that have probbaly been asked at least once. Generally any questions that are about general information about these car's should be in the newbie section. It's not so much new to car's, but new to Galant VR4's.

Also running 205/60R15 on stock wheels. I'd imagine that Muskrat's low sidewall tires handle better on pavement.
According to this , you could run 215mm tires.
The link is from the Galant Vr-4 Tire and Wheel Fitmant Page , which is located in the GVR4 Wheel and Tire Knowledge Base!!! thread. Might help.
