31x10.50 = no rub if front coils are good

32x11.50 and 33x 10.50 slight rubbing at full turn

I'm not sure how big you can go with tires but I'll explain the tire info. The "235" is basically how far it is from one side of the tread to the other. A "185" (small car tire) is smaller than a "235" (truck/suv) tire. The "70" is how far it is from the rim to the top of the tire. A "40" would be considered a low profile tire, as an "80" would be considered a truck tire. Hope this helps!

235 means the tread is 235mm wide, the 70 is sidewall profile which would be 70% as tall as the tread is wide (70% of 235mm). The R means its a radial tire and the 15 is the rim diameter.

You should be able to 31x10.50R15's stock.
