A friend recently pointed me to these 
guys:  http://www.edgeracing.com  saying they had some really low 
prices on street & race t'ars.  They even list 3 in those sizes.

It would probably fit, but it might be better to stay at 215.  The 
suspension geometry on our cars doesn't keep the patch at that great 
a position anyway, so it might not do much good.  And a 
properly-sized tire (not over-sized) will often keep a better 'patch 
as well.  And staying light-weight is always goo, too.
