Have a set of radial T/As for the fronts, there slightly bigger than the current 225 60s ?
I’ve got 225 75s in the rear that rubbed up front so they moved to the back lol

No, too tall.

Don't think they even make 245/60/15's

I have a picture to show how the factory 225/60/15's rubbed the flares on my '88GT.
Picture is driver's side, forward. Only occurred at full lock in one direction, even with one factory installed steering rack limiter on each side of the rack.
This is not a problem on LX or later GT's. The shape of the flare was changed slightly.
Reducing the overall diameter will prevent this.
225/50/15 or 225/50/16

Here's a pic of the factory turbines with the 225/50/15's
