Id say a 50 or 55 profile, my 15s have a 65 profile.. anything less on mine and it catches frame and exhaust on everything..

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalcold.html This link gives you a drawing of a rim/tire and overlays itself with a different rim/tire so you can see the diff.. it also gives you the measurements... you pick width/profile and rim size on both.. A 60 on a 16 is only 1/10th of an inch shorter than a 65 on a 15...lol Fun link :) you can do a side view and front view too..


**EDIT** lol, didnt see ///RAGMC already suggested the site :)

Sorry. I've only run 15, 17, 19 and 20" wheels on my trucks.

According to the tire calculator, if you're comparing with a 255/60-15, then a 255/55-16 is a perfect match in height.
For a 255/70-15, then a 255/65-16 would match.
For a 235/75-15, then a 235/70-16 would be nearly perfect.

You can see a pattern forming there as long as the width is the same across the diameters.
