How much will a 205/65/15 raise the height of the bike?

New to the board and wanting to go darkside. I bought a Good Year tripe assurance 205/65/15 and was wanting to know how much it would raise the height of the seat. I am vertically challenged, although I can sit flat footed with the stock rear tire now. I have a 06' VTX 1300C with a Mustang seat..... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
James

James....you shouldn't see any height difference at all. By our calculations and those from other websites.....it matches dead on for being the same height as the stock motorcycle tire. Of course not all tires are created equal...hehehehe Some measurements are not the same, but it still will be so close that you can't tell. I ride a 1300 C also and run the 205/65/15 car tire. I am 5'9" and wanted not just to be flat footed, but wanted my knees bent some and I cut my seat down to get what height I liked. You should have NO problem being flat footed when you change to the darkside.
