tire size changes on '92

[Doc308]

I'm considering installing slightly lafger tires on my '92, such as 215 x 50 x15 on the front and 235 x 50x 16 on the rear. This would be jumping one size up on front and rear and should keepthe front-rear ratio about the same. Does this look OK, so as to not trigger the TCS?
