Appropriate Tire Size

Factory tire was just under 26" tall.


195/50R15 is 22.7" tall (Way, way to short.)
195/55R15 is 23.4" tall (Still way to short.)
195/60R15 is 24.2" tall (Still to short)
205/50R15 is 23.1" tall (We are getting shorter again.)
205/55R15 is 23.9" tall (Still short.)
205/60R15 is 24.7" tall (Shorter than I would run)

Your 225-60-15 is 25.6" tall, but the problem is width and offset.

I suggest:

205-65-15 is 25.5" tall. Very close to stock height and the reduced width should solve the clearance issue.

Many people here also go for a 215-60-15" at 25.2" tall (Your safest bet).
