   If 145s are the stock size then 155s will work.

Be careful - at least on Bugeyes, the constraint is clearance between
the leaf spring and the tire.  I don't think even 155s will clear.
A previous owner ground notches in the springs in my Bugeye,
presumably to clear larger tires.  Several leaves are now cracked at
those grind points.  Sigh...
