Tire sizing

Don't yell, I did many searches looking for the info and was put in so many other categories and threads, but none seemed to give me the answer I seek. So here goes.

I'm not planning on doing any lifting....right now. Although I probably will be adding some sort of helper at the rear to allow me to carry more weight with less droop in the a$$ end.
So with stock wheels, can I go to a larger/more aggressive tire without compromising the body? And if yes, what might that size be?
The CC currently has 235 15's

235/75-15 is as big as you can go and mine still rubbed stock.

I didnt have any problems with my 235/75/15 goodyear wrangler silent armors rubbing like Brule did.

I never had 30" tires on my crew, but I wouldnt hesitate to put 30s on it stock. I know i wouldnt have had any issues. 31s will require cutting.

Thanks guys, it's just that I have these wimpy street tires, and it just doesn't fit my manly persona!

I guess a lift of some sort is called for.

Currently running BFG AT KO's 235x75x15 stock truck and wheels. T-bar crank minimal to level truck. Deep articulate turns will still rub when tires are new due to the aggressive deep lugs on the sides and their squared off design. Less aggressive design or more street-type tires don't. I had the same size in good year wranglers on it before and they did not rub in the same situation and traversing the same terrain.

Just a difference in an import case as opposed to a domestic case can mean quite a difference in overall size too.
Good point that shoulder design is a BIG part.
