235's on stock rims isn't ideal but it has been done. It's not legal IMHO.
What will you attach the sash of the seatbelt to? There's no pillar to attach it to.

Factory rear belts are lap only. There is nothing to attach the upper mount to. I'm confused by what you are asking.

I think he wants to replace the lap belts and incorrectly called them a "lap sash" belt. It's actually a common mistake.
(Just think of it like the "sash" that beauty queens wear - up and over the shoulder is the "sash" bit!)

I need to replace the lap belts that are standard in a lwb sierra ..... can belts from other cars fit ? As I would imagine that the origonal ones would be hard to find .

There's all manner of universal seat belt kits on eBay.
Heaps of people run 235s on stock wheels with no issues.
