Snow tire sizes??

I need to know whats the biggest size we can go??
-Would a set of 205/70R15's RUB at all?!?! -I've alrdy used a wheel/tire calc: they're 41mm taller than the 205/60's...aka 7% larger...
I've compared the 70's by holding them next to the wheel/tires alrdy on the car, and just from that, it looks like they'd rub for sure...UGH.

-No, I'm not afraid of driving my FC in the snow (its a BLAST!). I've done it before. (and w/the FB I had, both had/have LSD) I just HATE it when tires rub.

Don't you want the narrowest snow tires you can fit?

185/65/15 or 195/65/15 is what I was going to go with. I'd suggest something thinner than 205. it's not about the sidewall height.
