Tire Size Opinions Needed

I am going to be getting 15x8 Corvette Rallys for my Camao soon($300 from US Wheel at the Car Show in Raleigh when it comes back). Correct me if i am wrong, but the backspacing should be 4 inches. Anyways, here is some guidelines i want to follow:

1. The tire cannot stick out of the end of the fender. I hate how people put those big *** tires on, but they stick out 6 inches from the car.

2. I'd like the sidewall to not be too big but my car needs to gain a tad bit of heighth because at my cat i only have about 2.5 in. of clearance.

3. Same size all the way around.

Im thinking 245/60/15 or something like that. What do you think?

Heres a couple

235 60 15 will be even on rim with no bulging side wall
245 50 15 will stick out past rim but still look right
245 60 15 similar as above but will be very tall
