I'm running 235/75 x 15 on the stock 5 spoke 15 x 7 clearcoated rims. There
are no clearance problems and the tires sit inside the fender lip. If you
have the stock dual 5 spoke rims (typically they came with the handling
package option 15 x 8 rims), then they'll sit a bit outside the lip.
If you decide to go to the 235s as opposed to the stock 215s, you can get
a speedometer pinion gear from any Dodge parts dept. to adjust the speedometer
gauge to the 235s.

If you want to check out the Dunlop Radial Rovers, try any of the OK Tire
franchises. When I got mine a couple of years ago, they were about $20/tire
cheaper than the Bridgstones or Goodyears. They are a very good all-season
type of tire on dry/wet pavement and light amounts of snow, and were
given top rating by Consumer Reports back then.
