 Doug---I've never tried 215's on the front end, but they' should fit on
the rear without *rubbing.  Depending on the new wheel *offset, you are
looking at a tire about .625 wider on the inside. You can turn your
present wheels to full lock and check to see if there's room for the
increase.
It is true that this size will be the same diameter as the Michelins, IF
you're sure about the size of the Michelins.  The original size was 185x
78 x15, which would make your choice nearly two inches shorter.

I agree Gary, lets all be patient about this I'm sure it'll be worth it! 

By the way does anyone have info on putting 16" Panasports with
215/50X16 tires. I'd like to do this but I'm not sure about rubbing,
caliper interference etc. 

This size will result in the same rpm(848) as my original Michelin
185/65X15" Any suggestions would be helpful. 
Doug
