255’s or 235’s on 15×7 Ralley IIs
Short answer: Whether 255s fit a 15×7 Rally II depends on how the car sits (sag/lowering). The catch is mostly tire height — check your clearance first. Tire diameters:
| Size | Diameter |
|---|---|
| 205/70R14 (approx. stock) | 25.3″ |
| 235/70R15 | 28.0″ |
| 235/60R15 | 26.1″ |
| 255/70R15 | 29.1″ |
| 255/60R15 | 27.0″ |
Up front, many run 225/60–70-15 (one runs 235/60-15 with only slight rubbing on steep/off-camber drives); a 255 (60 or 70) up front is too tall and will rub unless the car sits very high. In back, members run 255/60s, but a 7″ wheel is really too narrow for a 255 (center wear, tread won’t fully meet the road) — an 8″ wheel with ~4.5″ offset is better, and at 27″ tall, verify clearance. (Note: “255/90R15” in the question is almost certainly a 255/60R15 — a 90-series would be very tall and skinny.)
