Welcome to the forum!
Why not "plus size" the tire and go with a 225/55R15? This way your overall tire diameter would remain about the same so your speedometer should remain relatively close. I cannot guarantee that the tires wouldn't rub on sharp turns over bumps, but I think that tire width is pretty close to what the SHO had on it and it didn't rub.
