Firstly welcome. Your english is better than my French.
If you are keeping the stock rim then you should go for the 235/60-15 as the 255/60-15 have an approved rim width starting at 7.0", the 235 will also keep your speedo more accurate than the 255/60's.
What happens when you fit wider tyres on a narrow rim is the tread bends so you get no benefit from going too wide.
