235 60r15 vs 255 60r15

[nbpro]

About to buy some new tires. I have 235/60r15 all the way around. Thinking about going 255/60r15 all the way around. How much is this going to fill the wheel well up? Approx. what's the difference in height?

Here's a pic of the 235.

I'd go with at least the 255's

On my K5 I am running 255/60-15 on the front, 275/60-15 on the rear.
When I first put these wheels on I had the 255's on the back and 235/60-15's on the front and they were way too small.

I still think the 255's are too small so I am going to put 235/70-15's on the front as they are roughly the same outer diameter as the 275's, just not as FAT.

what i'am look to do is fill the wheel well up some more in the back
we cut 1 coil off of the front springs and move the rear leaf hanger bolts up =2/3 drop i think lol

these are 255/60/15 all the way around with the exact same drop you have. Hope it helps.
