For section width it says .79 difference between the 215 and the 235. So roughly .4" x 2 between the duals. That's almost 1" I'd loose for clearance between the tires. Even though I'm sure I could get them on there without them touching, Between loading and tire pressures I don't want to loose any of the clearance I have now. I'm okay running the stock size for now untill I can check out rims later on. Probably not worth the extra expense to run a nominally different tire anyways. Don't want to change gearing or have clearance issues by going much bigger than stock.

I know they will not touch because I had 215 and just had 235 put on. But it probably was not worth spending more on the 235's as they are only slightly bigger. Good luck.

Thanks! I think I will try to upgrade the quality of the tires and go with A/Ts as well since I'll be saving a little with the factory size.
