From the margin I have with the 215/60R15 tires, I think 6.5" rims should fit 225/60R15s without too much problems, just the speedometer will be a little bit off (2.6% slower than actual), 225/55R15 could be better.

The tolerance that I heard was +/-3%, I think even new and worn out tires may bring 2% difference.
