255/60/15 are as close to stock height as you can get & are wider.  they look great & if your suspension isnt sagging, they shouldn't rub.  myself & others run a bigger 275/60/15 on the rear to give the car a better looking stance.

235-60-15 is 1.3" shorter than the stock 225-70-15. So it's too small for my taste.

I like the 245-60-15 on a 7" wheel. It's .8" shorter than stock, so not as short as the 235-60.

255's are only .3" shorter than stock, but are pretty wide for a 7" wheel, so I don't like them as much on a 7" wheel. They're better for an 8" wheel to me.

Here's a link to TireRack.com , where you can compare tire sizes, diameters, and widths: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=BFGoodrich&tireModel=Radial%20T/A&tab=Specs&tirePageLocQty=

I have 245-60-15s  on the back of mine with the stock 15x 7 snowflakes.
