I would like the same answer. I prefer the taller sidewall to tackle all of the obstacles that daily driving sends our way. Also, a 15" wheel and tire will be lighter weight than a larger size such as a 17" (wheels weigh more than tires so larger wheels will weigh more unless they are exotic - expensive - models). As a result of this a Mustang will ride better on rough roads due to less unsprung weight and more compliant sidewalls.
225/60X15 seem to be the best fit since they are very close to the height of the stock 205/65X15 and are the perfect width for the 7" wide stock rim. 235/60s are doable but a little tall, 215/60s are a little too small imho. I plan on getting 225s or 235s depending on price (many "obsolete" sizes are often discounted sharply).
Good luck, hopefully we will get a response that does not involve larger diameter wheels.
