Default Rear tire size?

Just wondering which is the better choice for a car with 15X7s and stock quad shocks--235s or 245s.

Oops, I just saw the other thread on this. So it's safe to put 245s on?

245s will not be a problem at all.... any bigger with that size wheel and you will run into issues. with a wider wheel with a bit more backspacing, you could get away with larger tire also, but that backspacing will be critical in making that work
