They will but that's a size smaller than the factory tire, you want a 215/65R15

no, that will be even larger than the first size you asked about. You seem to be looking at small truck tires. A good rule of thumb to go by - if the middle number is higher than 65 you DON'T want it, it will be too tall.

You need either a 215/65R15, 225/60R15 or a 235/60R15.

little clarification here. at 26.3 inches, a 205/70/15 is actually a taller tire than stock, but skinnier.

a 235/75 is 28.9 inches. that's crazy big

stock height is 26 inches
