I feel the 235/60's are a little short....the 255/60 will fit the rim fine and is a much closer match to the original tyre diameter for the 15x7's.....I think they fill the wheel arches nicely.

Sounds like panel shops are the same the world over....I'm only having some relatively small jobs done on mine ( few days work would do it), but its been over 6 weeks of stop and start work....very annoying. They do nice work, and are reasonable on their costs....so I persist in using them, lol.

Agree on the 255/60... I've done this combo on 15" JW rally IIs and it looked incredible. This is pic of my 72 (sold many years ago) with them... I know its a bad pic, scanned from film.
