Too small. I had a set of 245/60's on 15x8 Snowflakes on my 79 T/A, they were just about perfect.

Remember, larger than stock tires will throw off your speedometer.

That tyre is probably near 2" shorter than the correct tyre for the car......even a 235/60x15 is shorter than the correct tyre.
255/60x15 matches very closely the original tyre diameter.
