a 255/60/15 is a wise choice for the rear. Alot of people (myself included) try going for the 275/60/15 and in most cases it ends up being a tight fit.
You'll have more peace of mind with the 255s out back. You can use a 15x7" rim
235/70/15 is a bit overkill for the front? The 70 will be much taller than your 255/60s. If you go with 235/60/15, they'll fit nicely upfront on a 15x7" rim

yeah i thought about that after i wrote it about the front. im gonna go with the 255s in the back. i want the fronts to be a little bit taller then they are now (215-65-15) n a little skinnier. want the tires to tuck in a little more all around. thanks forthe info
I would go with a 235/60 in the front. A 235/70 is gonna be way tall and not look right IMO. I currently have 225/60s in front and 255/60s in the rear. I have had this combo on 15x7 with 4.5" bs and now on 15x8 with 4.25" bs. No issues.
This is with the 15x7s. I regret going with the 225s because they are tiny. A 235 would be perfect.
Heres the 15x8s with same tires. Sorry about the photo quality

Are you guys sure the 235/60/15 will fit in front with the 2" drop springs without bottoming out? I run that size tire with stock springs and they fit, but will bottom out if I run over any sizable bump in the road. Are the Eibach springs stiff enough to prevent bottoming? Anyone know the rate?
I have 255's in the back and they are no problem at all with stock springs.

Eibach spring rate for the front is 660. I run 245-50-16 on the front with no issues but I do have it set up with a negative camber. I have a set of eibacks with 1/2 coil cut from the front springs for sale.
I have 2156515s in the front now. I was thinking of going 225 65 15 in the fronts but I dont want them to look to small as mentioned with the 255s in the back. Maybe a 235 6515 in the front? I have 2356015 in the back now. Just looking for a little taller tire in the front and slightly skinnier than the rears. Thanks for the info
read over this again and wad wondsring about bottoming out. I have the eibach pro kit on my car to be exact. im gonna buy the rears and try the 235 on the front before deciding if no one has info or a similar sstup
