Hello, you should be able to

Hello, you should be able to fit them on without much modification if any. I put 215/80R15 tyres on my Sportrak and they fit perfectly. I have found this webpage extremly useful for comparing tyre sizes:

Comparing them to my tyre size, the 235/75/15s are less than half a centimeter larger in radius, so you should be fine for height, but they are also 2cm wider, I'm afraid I can't help you much on the width.

Why have you chosen this tyre size? If you are buying the tyres new (and therefore have more choice) I would opt for something narrower as 235 is quite wide for a light 4x4 like the Sportrak, and might not fit standard rims. Lots of people however run tyres as wide as this and significantly wider on Sportraks, it's just my opinion.

Also a general point on wheel spacers, I would try to avoid them unless there's no other way, which there often is.

Hope this has been of help to you
