they are a bit odd franky - the standard tyre is a 235x70 on a 16 inch rim, can't remember what the 15" one is but 215 is a bit narrower than standard (hence the higher sidewall I guess).
80% of 215 = 172mm so your current tyre combination should stand (2 x 172mm) + 15" high.
so thats 342mm + 15" = 14.65" + 15" = 29.65"
does your tape measure agree with that?
Do remember that theres quite a lot of suspension movement on these plus you have to allow for steering as well so that space isn't there for nothing...
