The 235s definatley look alot better than the 225s I have on the front of mine. I regret buying such a small tire for it so I would definatley go with atleast a 235.

I run 235/60/15 all around and it fills the wheelwells OK. You could go as far as a 255 or 265 in the rear but keep in mind the taller you make the tire, the harder your motor will have to work to get it up to speed.

w/ that baby v6 you're working w/ you'll probly notice the car feels heavier and more sluggish going up a rim size. I'd wait until power upgrades happen and keep them under wraps if I were you. When you're working w/ a weak v6 like that even the added weight of 1 additional passenger can be significant and you want to remove as much weight as possible for driveability except when the ground iced then the opposite applies bc traction w/o posi = no good take it from me I almost crashed going like 15 mph on a curve of black ice couldn't believe I was losing control at such a slow speed! Maybe toss one of those wheels in the trunk for icey driving although a 50lb bag of sand or salt is better
