I have a question for the Eagle owners in the crowd. The standard tire was P195.75R15. Without any modifications, how big a tire can fit on an Eagle without rubbing?

With no lift and running the stock 15x6 wheels (like you said, no modifications), you could safely stuff 205-75-15 or 215-70-15 under there. Since 195-75-15 is pretty much extinct now, these are the closest sizes to stock.
I suspect you could go 215-75-15 as well, but if you step up into the 225 range you'll probably start getting some rubbage.

215/65R15 was the optional size.

I've got 215/75/15's but had to trim a little from the front flare but
my springs were really worn. With the new front springs on there would
be no need to trim.
