I got 225/60/15

But I only went with them as it was the only size I could get the tires I wanted in. I think that is the first thing you should do. goto several review site and read up on what people say about what tires. Find a brand and style you like, then see what size you can get it in.

I got Dunlop SP Sport 5000 all weather z rated tire.

I have a pic with 235's, but it is too big for posting. All the sizes I have run have been close enough in rolling diameter not to affect the speedo, odo. The math may say one thing, I like to line them up side by side and eyeball it.
