235 60r15 vs 255 60r15
About to buy some new tires. I have 235/60r15 all the way around. Thinking about going 255/60r15 all the way around. How much is this going to fill the wheel well up? Approx. what's the difference in height?
Here's a pic of the 235. |

I'd go with at least the 255's
Here's a tire size calculator you can play with http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html |

Re: 235 60r15 vs 255 60r15
On my K5 I am running 255/60-15 on the front, 275/60-15 on the rear.
When I first put these wheels on I had the 255's on the back and 235/60-15's on the front and they were way too small. I still think the 255's are too small so I am going to put 235/70-15's on the front as they are roughly the same outer diameter as the 275's, just not as FAT.

Re: 235 60r15 vs 255 60r15
these are 255/60/15 all the way around with the exact same drop you have. Hope it helps.
