Anyone running 235/75/15 bfg's ( Syncro)

[Kombi///M3]

Good day, need to replace my BFG 215/75/15 ko2's
I have a Syncro pop top no kitchen could be heavy when
Loaded with kids. stock springs/ old man emu/ 2.5 suby.
Thinking going 235/75/15, did some search and seems like
It would fit with slight rubbing up front. Not concern about
Trans gear ratio. Just want to know if they fit without extensive
mods. Anyone running these tires? What are your thoughts?

Thanks.

Not worth the slight rubbing on highway vs. off road rubbing when loaded and rough roads.

Unless you're the person who just won that big PowerBall Lottery you should be concerned about gear ratios!

I see..i have 2 trans.. my spare will be getting
Different gearing ratio. But just want to know first
Hand experience on the tires. Thanks.

Wouldn't the rear wheels rub on the lip of the trailing arms? I have 225/70/16 tires and they almost touch the lip (cannot use a cable chain).

I think that 235/75/15 tires, although smaller, they are wider ?
