Hello everyone!
I just braved it last night and tried out 215/60R15 on my OE 7" wheels, and guess what? They didnt rub the front shocks!
I installed Falken Ziex ZE-512, and they seem to be pretty decent. The car does feel a bit slower, though, because the earlier Dunlop SP65e Digi-Tires were 205/65, which have a slightly larger diameter. but the speedometer should be more accurate now, because the new tires are aproximately the same diameter as the OR 195/65R15.
