I am considering mounting a set of 235/75R15 tires (heavy sidewall) under my 78 242 with 3" lift kit.

The tires are about 3 1/2" taller than the 205/75R14's on my 245.

This would be a simple mount on 15" alloy rims or steel wheels.

What is the largest tires you have seen on a Volvo suspension (no volvo body on Chev 4x4 frame, please)

Other than more body roll, any other handling problems you can think of.

If I do this, I will post pics and handling feedback.
