I know plenty of people running 235s on 5.5 inch rims, so you can definitely go bigger than 215. As for lifting for clearances, I ran 235/75/15s for ages on a SWB vit with no lift. Lift will also not necessarily allow you to run wider tyres, only taller tyres... |

thanks Greg 235/75 is the largest you can run safely on a 5.5" rim. |

i ran 235 on mine with no lift for over 2 yrs, but that was on a 7" rim, it scrubed but only because of the offset rims. i no a few that run on 235 on std rim, have no scrubing issues with no lift. just do it. |

Thanks guys for your helpful info.The main concern was if there was any scraping from the tyres when turning because of the extra width. |
