235/75x15's   look really good on a stock Kick...

Maxxis Buckshot mudders are a really nice tire to consider if you are planning to offroad it at all, and they don't sing on the highway.. I really liked mine before the "go bigger" bug bit... (damn thing is itching again too....)

I just got my 235/75/R15s Sumitomo HTR ATs mounted today.  On a 15x7" rim, they will rub if you try to flex :)

On stock rims, it should be cool though.

Someone should make a tech article about tire sizes and sticky it.

I agree on this and just for grins they should also list the vehichles that come stock with 5x5.5 lug patterns for all the neww boys and girls  ;D

Stand down, MSG Arthur L. Lilley, your mission is now complete, may you rest in eternal peace.

15 x 7, 3 inch BS.  They rub on the plastic pieces on the inner fenderwells during hard turning and and the front right side of the bumper (front bumper is slightly twisted, thats why, lol)

Also, any rear flex drags the lugs on the fender.

hmmmm, sounds like you might have some coil sag...  what is the ACTUAL height of your 235's??  they vary.. should be a touch less then 29...

I can see the rub on flex in rear, with the 7" with 3"bs... that makes sense with 3.5 they would probably be inside the wheel well... or maybe 3.75
