We plan a little bit bigger when the originals die, I know 225/60/17 will def fit no problem...I would worry about the clearance in the rear wheel well honestly with alot larger of a tire. It seems close as it is with the stock tires on. I'm sure lifts will become available at some point if not already in Europe.

225 on stock 17"s with stock suspension should work.
Off road king has 225/75 on16" rims with a 1" lift kit. He had to trim the fender liner, 1/4 off the back of the from tire. The offset of his rims stick the tire out a little bit. I found that with 1" spacers on the stock trail hawk 17" wheels and 215 tires, it rubs the fender liner at full lock.
I just mounted 15" wheels with 235 tires with 1" spacers. Without spacers the 235 will probably rub the strut tub or spring perch. My setup rubs the front and rear of the front fender liner at full lock. I removed the fender liner and it still rubs on the back of the front fender at full lock.
Safer to stay with the original 215. Going up a size to 225 might require trimming behind the back of the front tire. 235 will probably need a lift kit, I'll find out soon if it has an effect.
Check out off road kings post and my post to see more info on the sizes we tried.

Tire Size question currently I have the stock Dunlop Tires (Highway) sized in 215-60R-17
I want to get a set of On-/Off-Road All-Terrain / Tire rack has only 1 option in that size @ Yokohama for $204.00 per tire. Now in P225-60-17 has lots of options from $150.00 to $190.00, can this bigger size work ? Thank-you
