Subject:Wake up! Tire question alert!

Hi listers,

        I have a set of 9 year old tires.  And one just developed a broken belt and a bulge.

So, looking to replace all 4. 

This is on 17 inch wheels direct bolt on. 

I want to reduce the diameter a bit to get closer to stock and also, and a few other reasons.

The current diameter is 
225 55/17 

The other van is running the diameter I want on a  
215 60/16 

How do I get the same diameter on the 17 inch wheel?

Either 215 or 225 should be fine. Though having both vans the same at 215 might be nice.
I have tried to use AI to figure out exact diameters, but get different answers.  Also som variation on the on line tables when I looked in the past. 

So, tips on available tires in a 17 wheel but with the diameter of the 215 60/16 would be incredibly helpful.
