   Well that's gonna depend on the width of your tyres.
   But OK... I run 215s on my 15x7" alloys and to keep
   the original wheel diameter,you need a 60 profile tyre.
   If you went to significantly wider tyres (and still cleared
   the sliding door) I guess you could get down to 50s.
   I didn't go wider cos it was too hard or expensive to
   get snow chains that fitted properly.

   BTW,my '00 Double Cab runs 17x7" rims with 235/45s
   which keeps the same original wheel diameter.
   Surprisingly (at least to me) with no increased harshness
   of the ride.
   ...and yes they are load rated ( for the benefit of the
   tyre police out there...;)
