Did you go with 4 fronts? Do you know if the 3rd gen rears will rub?
the rims were put on the car from the prev owner before i bought it so cant say for sure what size the tires were.

you are correct that stock size 225/70/15 is 27.4", a 27.1" tire should fit without any problems, even if its 16" wheel. not sure why champ said they wont fit...

the 235/60/16 is only .4" wider than a 225/70/15 but that shouldnt matter either since people run 255/60/15 all the time that are the same basic height at 27" & are 10" wide, .7" wider than a 225/70/15. i know of some guys that run a 275/60/15 on all 4 corners that are 28" tall, looks kinda stupid on the front but they fit on a non lowered car & only rub on full lock of the steering.

if your car isnt too terribly lowered or sagging original springs a 235/60/16 should fit with ease.
