Ok to go with a bigger tire on stock rims?

I want to buy some Firestone destination a/ts. i have the 16 inch icon rim and was wondering if i could go up to a p235 with stock suspension and be ok? i have a 2000 Cherokee classic.

No problem with a 235 or 30" or 31" maybe bigger on stock wheels.. Are they 7" wide or 8".

Those where good for 265/75x16 tires maybe a little more. The real limitation for bigger tires is fender clearance witch would limit you to about a 235 with out lifting.
