You'll find a few posts on here of folks who have fitted 215 75 15s (just searching now to check) and how they just clear. I have 215 70 15s (a size you don't mention an interest in) which clear very nicely.

Frankly I think you'd be OK with 215 75s. I have some Yokohamas that are winter/snow. I would have gotten 215 75s but I had a budget to work with.
I don't go off roading as such, just do the odd field as and when, so my Jimny is a mostly a road car for kerbs and snow.

I'll sack the 215/75/15 idea as I don't want any clearance issues. :S
