No actual experience but what I would do is measure what you have in there right now. Sidewall bulge to springs. rim edge to springs. On the outside; rim to outer fender sheet metal and sidewall bulge to outer fender sheet metal. it's more difficult on the outside as it ain't plumb vertical like the face of a building would be but is curved. Do some easy math to compare backspace/offset/sidewall bulge side to side I forget what they call that to the tires/rims you have in mind. Find out how much sidewall clearance to springs and how much sidewall clearance to the sheetmetal & same with rim distances(s) is recommended for them & I'm assuming your new rim width is in the recommended range for the tires you have in mind. EDIT sidewall to sidewall bulge is "section width" & is 235 millimeters on your new tires & 25.4 MM is 1 inch. A different rim width would change the tire section width slightly I would think
