Depending on backspacing the 225's can be real tight in the front. I run 205's on mine, 215's on the convertible.

Depends on the look you want. IMO I'd go with the smaller sizes.

If you haven't lowered your car yet (and your suspension isn't worn out too much), you should be able to go with the sizes you mentioned ... I currently have 225/60/15 front and rear (15x7 American Racing Torque Thrust II) and I'm considering going to 235/60/15 front and rear, or maybe 255/60/15 for the rear ... I believe someone here has been running 235's for awhile now ...
