What size inner tube for 165/80/15 on wire wheels

Hi guys - Moss lists two sizes;

155/165 X 15

and

175/185 X 15

Is it as obvious as it seems that you just match the tube range to the tire size, or in this case I'd go with the 155/15 x 15 tubes?
 
Aloha Skip,

Inner tubes also have sizes. I think the that you can use either a size FR15 or a KR14/15 (for both 14 or 15 inch wheels). Additionally, valve stems also have sizes. Older wheels (50's and earlier vintage) usually have 5/8" stem holes and the corresponding valve stem size is TR15. Newer wheels have a 7/16" stem hole and a size TR13 valve stem fits. If you have a tube with a valve stem smaller than the stem hole in the wheel, a valve stem grommet can be added over the valve stem to get a proper fit.

I suspect that the 155/165 X 15 tube is the one you need, but I would ask Moss for more information to make sure.
