The 235 75 R15 is the next size biger.  Should fit no problems.

215/75/15 = 27.7x8.5/15
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.

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

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.

There's a place on Ogden road that I got 4 tires done for 70 tax in.its in the same building as race trac gas

Did you get quoted $160 to dismount 8 tires and mount 4?
