How big of a difference is there between a 30 x 9.50 R15 and a 235/75 R15? I can see the numbers and there only seems to be maybe 1/2 inch in diameter? Will the 235s give me the same look? I believe I have 3 inch offset wheels so the tires ride just on the outside of the fender guards.

235s are 28.9" diameter, so about a inch diffrence. are you wanting to go up to 30's?

No. I have 30 on her now but replacements are 30 bucks per tire more. It is an everyday driver and I need to get some tread for the winter. I have Firestone wilderness XTs on there now ( not recall, damn!) and I want to replace them with Goodyear Wranglers. I can get them for 85 bucks each and any 30s I've looked at are at least 115. If there isn't a noticeable difference, I will go cheaper. If it looks like I put Escort tires on there, I'll pony up the dough.
