Dunno the metric versions off top of my head. So dunno what a 235xwhatever metric number is for 10 or 10.5

Stock 235/75 15's are about 28.87"x9.25", so that means something like a 255/70 15(29"x10"), 265/70 15(29.6"x10.4"), 275/60 15(28"x10.8).
Now those metric equivalents are mostly readily available according to my quick google search, the last one is a very common Mustang/Camaro tire, so the load rating should be a concern if you use your truck as a truck. And they are within the 3-5% height difference from stock that most tire places usually recommend so as not to knock the speedo out too much.
On my old 91 2wd S-cab LWB I put some very street oriented 31x10.50s in the rear and 30x9.50s on the front. I really liked the rake it gave. The speedo was off maybe 5km/hr or so, very minor but still noticeable.

if you go up a section width number(the 3 digit number XXX/--R--) you have to go down one size on the aspect ratio number (1st set of 2digits ---/XXR--)

^this guy went the extra mile with even providing a link.... 
I rounded off my numbers in my post.
Btw, OP, 0.18" or just about 3/16" difference in height is not even noticeable when it comes to truck tires....
