You can run them staggered. 215 in the front and 225 in the rear.

Just for perspective, I run 255 60 15 in the back on my Centerline wheels and they are not even close to rubbing. Have seen some guys running 275 60 15, but I had a pair on there, and am certain they would have rubbed under extreme conditions.

My 255 60 is actually a little shorter at 27.04 inches tall than the 225 70 15 (27.4 inches tall). And since they are 30mm narrower (about 1.2 inches) there is no way a 225 70 15 would rub in the rear. Lots more room under the rear.

I run 215 70 r15 up front on Centerlines (no style trim so no wheel well molding) but would not run anything bigger. I do not have the exact same off set as the stock rally wheels up front. I think plenty of guys run old F70 15 on rally wheels or 215 70 R15 radials on rally wheels up front. I kind of like the staggered look on my car. Of course, every time I put the rallys and the bias ply tires on, I really like that look as well.

Here it is both ways. I don't think I have any pics with the rallys after installing all the trim.
