"I read the thread some time ago about the correct size and the overall
diameter of the 215 is closer then a 205 to the stock 185/15 tire."
My figures go like this: Diameter of a 185-15 is 26.54", 205/70-15 is
26.34", and 215/70-15 is 26.85". So the choice is yours of whether the
error is + or - (what error there is).
I have 205/70-15 on my car, and on stock wheels the sidewalls rub on the
swaybar. On the KN wheels, they rub the swaybar and the wheels scrape the
upper control arms. I'd say that the 215/70-15 would be even worse.
