As noted in the other thread that is currently going... I have 255/60/15's on the HP2. There's 3/8" clearance to the lip and a good 1.5" from tire to spring. Another 1/2" of wheel backspacing and I could put a 275 in there.

Go here and play with this calculator. HERE
A 255/60/15 is wider than your 215/70/15

Here is another link you can check out to determine the max wheel/tire combo for your car.

Wayne - how is it in the top of the wheel wells with bumps? That's where 255s rubbed with mine. I settled on 245/60/15 when I got new ones. My original rear springs were tired when the 255s were on it, though, too.

Won't know until someone cleans the streets around here... although I don't think the springs on this are gonna give too much! Not until I take the aftermarket snubber out at least! lol
