Alright well I'm putting my Mazda back to stock height (previous owner dropped it a couple of inches). Now I'm a completely noob for anything above stock height and I was needing some help deciding on a bigger tire. I did a lot of searching and picked the sizes and compared them here.

Pepehn said that his 235/75s fit fine in the back but rubbed in the front. So I'm thinking grab the next size down at 225/75s. Any recommendations?

your tire size chart is showing 15's and pepehn is running 17's. just take that in to consideration. never really understood tire sizes that much but figured it may affect it.

235/75/15 will rub when turning...pephens 235/75's are on pathifinders.. i want to say that 225/75 may still rub but im not sure. You had to be almost ful lock to rub when my truck had the 235/75 but i dont have power steering so getting it to full lock was a pain in the arse anyways..

sometimes my 225 70s even rub i've i got the boys in the truck. all depends on how/where you drive.

if the rims stuck out a bit more you'd be all set.

i wanna do a 33x14.5 on K5 blazer wheels next

See I'm really not worried about alittle rubbing on lock to lock, but instead about overall rubs from regular road driving. I don't want a tire that rubs every ime I drive down the road.

if thats the case you should be able to get away with 235 75s, i just took mine way out in the sticks a few time for some fun.

So just to confirm this is a 225/70 in the front?
