235/60-15 is the widest realistic tire you can fit on there.

If you want to look like a borracho you can go wider.

Maybe a 175/50, or a 5.20, or 5.60 would constitute a "mexi-roc", but 235/60 is a mean size. I have the 225/60 in the front, and I want the 235/60 so bad. Being that I have a 15x8, and you have a 15x7, They would look even meaner on yours. I have seen that size on the Z-28 camaro wheels, (15" IROCs as I call them), and they look really good.
