Do you have personal experience? I use 31x9.50 Swampers for off-roading
with my '95, and there isn't a whole lot of clearance left. I haven't
measured the Swampers to get actual dimensions, though (they're actually
skinnier than the 235s).

I've heard conflicting reports on running 31s on a gen II. Some people
say it works no problem, some say they rub some.

How about the OEM factory wheels available from 2001 - 2004? 16x8" was
the size with the upgraded tire & wheel package. These come up on eBay
from time to time from people who have gone to 17" or larger wheels. Just
a thought.
