235/75/15 = 28.9x9.3/15
its only an inch bigger
so yes it should fit, if not most of the guys on this board have a sawzall and are willing to lend it to you.

and i could have a pair of 235 75 15. will these fit?

Pair as in 2 ?
I hope you plan on running 4 tires the same size and not mixing the sizes.

You will have no problems fitting 235s as the stock tire size was either 215/75/15s or 225/75/15s depending on the model

Post by: barmanjay on January 14, 2009, 05:29:37 PM: you can do 31s and sawzall the flares
28s still look stock

but, i wouldnt swap unless you have all 4 the same size.

even though the size difference is miniscule, it could still do damage to your drivetrain

if you want, i have a full set of 235's on jeep steelies you can have for 200, lots of life left on them.
