There's a chart somewhere on gnttype.org that shows which tires have the same height. I know that 235/60-15's are a match and I think that 275/50-15's are too, but some say they rub, some say they don't.

I have 255/60-15's on the rear and 235's on the front. You can see some cheesy pics on my web page link below.

I have the 275/50/15 nitto drag radials on my car. I love them for street duty!

Yeah, its from a Miata forum, but this is one of the best tire calculators I have ever seen. Used it for years!
