The 255/60/15s (27.1" tall) look great. I would of put 225/70/14s (26.5" tall) with them too look right for slight but complimentary rake. If you want more rake it needs to come from cut springs or spring spacers or something. You probably can sell the 215/60s on here or CL if you are not happy with big wheel well gap and want to try another size.

The problem with that is a taller sidewall on the front tire.

I think if you can bring the front low enough to make the gap between the tire and fender match front and rear it will look good.
 
You might prefer bringing the front end lower for more rake. Its a preference thing. That said I have had this tire combination on on a Cutty and it does not look off in anyway. In fact it seems to compliment nicely in most peoples opinions. You are talking 6.25 vs 6.05 on a rim and tire that are both smaller in diameter so you never see it. It also fills the wheel wells out better which is more noticeable with the stock ride height as compared to a lowered car.

thats the origional front tire i ordered, but sent them back because i didn't think the difference would be that noticeable.
