I have a standard Vitara, would 235's fit without any mods?
Currently have 215's and there seems to be a bit of room for some bigger rubber.
Any advice welcome and happy new thingy and all that

unless you trim the arches a bit they would catch

i have 235/75/15 tyres on my vitrara i have also just put on a lift kit and they only just miss the rear of the arch with the lift fitted, the full steering lock though seems ok with no rubbing.
so i guess not really.

I guess 235's are out then...225's maybe?
Need a new set badly but want bigger tyres, might have to go for some sort of lift kit.
