I've used 215/75 15 size tires(BFG Radial A/T) for several years both on a
7-passenger syncro and a camper.  They're great for dirt road use as I find
they handle obstacles better than the stock size and increase clearance a
little.
For me gas milage was about the same.  The stock setup seems optimized for
torque and drivability.  With the 215/75 15's I notice the need to
downshift more often on hills etc. Keep in mind that they won't fit in the
front spare tire carrier. Hope this is helpful.
