Those 5-spokes are 15x7. Mine came with them new.

The 235/70s come on the dual-5 spoke version rims (15x8s) which have a
different
backspacing than the 5-spokes to give clearance on the front and to accomodate
the wider tires. I would think that the 235/70s on 15x7 rims would have
clearance
problems on the fronts. I am now running 235/75s on the 15x7s with no
clearance
problems on the fronts or backs.
