I know this is kind of a specific question, but I was wondering if anyone had any pics of 235s or 30x9.50s on the stock Suzuki Sidekick 9-hole wheels? Just trying to get an idea of how it'd look.

best i can get of when i had 235's with no lift.
thats maybe a week after getting them installed, tire shop said they wouldnt fit and would rub, i had to tell them to just do it. they only rub the frame SLIGHTLY on full turn. i just swapped them over to another sidekick and it only rubs when turning to the right full lock. just need to adjust the steering stop a bit.

thats the best picture i have of it at a straight side angle

None of these are stock wheels, but both are 235 75 15 tires on a stock 95 Tracker.  The MT tires rubbed too much, mainly in the back of the front wheel well.  The other tires, I ran on it as my daily driver up until recently but they rubbed too much to wheel much with.  Rub a little on the front when turned full lock and rub in the top of the back wheel wells.  Probably could bend the lip down on the inside of the wheel well to help there.  I would think the narrower stock wheels would help too.

Some thread necromancy because it's relevant. :P

My mostly stock 'kick after doing some rally style driving in SW British Columbia. Tires are 235 Goodyear Wrangler Territories, noisy but awesome skins with only a wee bit of rub on the frame w/o adj. My buddies JDM Jimney is taking a Guinness break.

235/75/15 GT Radial Mud Terrains on 15x7 Pro Comp steel w/ 3.75 back spacing- stock suspension with trimming of the front and rear bumpers - zero rub anywhere.

Stock wheels (5.5 wide) are just too narrow for my liking on a taller tire.  Also feels like it handles much better with the wider rim.

You definatley dont want to put 30x9.50 on the stock 5.5" rims..If you did get them mounted they would buldge really bad and handle terrible.. If you go with the 30s youll want to get at least a 7in rim.
