Hi I just got a 2000 cherokee and was wondering if 235-75-15 will fit ok. It calls for 225s or 215s.

thanks for your help

235's are great actually, May rub if you are sagging. Depending on what you do, you may be able to fit 30's with minimal to no rub.

Bust out the jig saw, do some trimming, and throw 31s on it.

I have 235's on mine. No rubbing other than when I turn really tight my drivers side will rub some. Still not sure what that's about but it doesnt bother me too bad.
