You might be able to fit a 30x9.5x15.

I have a 2 inch old man emu lift. 30s are fine. Check out my picts. Screws up your speedo a bit though. Not much.

30s are literally a half inch taller then 235s. Imo that doesn't warrant the extra you pay for them.

I personally think 235's fill out the wheel wells nicely on stock height. And no rubbing issues.

BTW... since this was mentioned here......
Why is it that have a size larger than stock puts the speedo right where it should be? I'm running 235's on mine and every digital speed sign I've come across puts my speedo dead on accurate? If I was running the OEM 215's I'd probably be off by a couple miles then.
Weird.

depending on the end goal for your build specs... I've seen a lot of people go with 31's or 32's and not have to worry about regearing at that point.
