The ABS may be confused if the only one pair is replaced, but when all 4 are alike, it'll be fine.

Back to the original post ... I don't know if the revised suspension gave or took away any clearance from the previous design, but I'm running 215/60/16's (aftermarket 16x7.5 ET20) on my 745. Up front, they do rub the ipd bars, and with a load and on a bad dip, it did rub the fender on the rear (which was since resolved with overload springs). But this is a tire that's 8%-larger than stock ... with the 215/60/15 combo you're thinking of, I don't think the 3.9% is going to mess anything up.

-- Kane ... YMMV though, of course.
