I had 245/70r15's on mine when it was stock and had no problems,there a tad shorter than 235/75's but wider. 235's might rub when turning into drives and such. With a 2" lift there shouldn't be a problem.

Good looking wheels, over priced tires,
personal oppinion, I like the Pep-Boys
Tires, AT would be Durango, MT are the
Enforcer, I have used their tires for many
years, never had any trouble, or flats for
that matter.

Depending on the offset of the wheel 235s could fit. However I got a feeling that they are gonna rub. 2 inch lift will easily clear them though.

I had my brothers 235/75/15 Kumho tires on my sidekick with totally stock suspension and the things didn't rub  and all with normal driving and turning but when the suspension was flexing the wheel wells would cut into the tires.

I also feel the same way, I haven't used the Pep-Boys tires but I just got a new set of Good Year M/T's and they are way better than the BFG M/T's.  The Good years where aslo about $10 cheaper each for 31in tires.

15"x8" are very too wide for 235-75 r15 tires

They will fit more on stock 15"x5.5" rims.

yeah, when I mounted my brothers tires they where on 15x7 rims and they didn't rub.  I think 15x8 might be pushing it.

I have a 5.5 inch Spring over axle lift and my 33's still rub the springs at full lock.
