So here are my rims now all i need are tires. The rims are a 16x7 ameican racing. All i need is suggestions on what size would look the best on my cutlass at stock height.

215/60/16 is going to be stock. You can also go with 225/55/16

I'd go with the 225's.  Just a little bit wider than the granny looking 215's.  I hated how skinny my 215's were.

ohh shut up! lol

I duno my 215/60/16 handle pretty fucking good. Then again when they are on a lightweight  aluminum rim, and are michelins with Traction=A Temperature=A..... you can kinda know why! But i dont think many will pay what I did for those tires lol
