Bill,

See the link in my signature. I'm running 15 x 7's up front with 225/60/15's
and 15 x 8's in the back with 235/60/15's. The PO did massage the lip of the
fenders a "little" bit, but not enough that it's visible to the casual
observer. I think that with the tire size you're looking at, you won't have
a problem. You may want to check Brian Blackwell's site out, I know he has a
pretty good write up about tire sizing. Good luck.
