From what I have read...
225/70/16 fit with zero rubbing (Macdaddy runs them)
225/75/16 fit but may need a *tiny* bit of massaging
245/70/16 fit again with a bit of massaging (pretty sure built4thrashing and gdixon are both running this size)

Any bigger than that (245/75/16, 265/70/16, 235/85/16 etc) and you will have to get creative with a hammer/grinder.

235/75/16 only measures ~29.8 inches overall diameter, so I can't imagine they would need too much work to get them to fit.

I run 245/75/16. They fit with a huge ammount of effort and cutting of the inner plastic in the arches.


They will not fit if you still have the stock front bumper

As far as I understand the new rules (according to VSB14) for increase in tyre size without the need for an engineers cert, have a look at the attached spreadsheet and filter for tyre diameter difference (column I) between -26 and 50
I've only used 16 inch rims and know not if they will physically fit.
