Yes, you can. Not only do you gain a wider tire, but the rims are also 1/2" wider as well. I
think I'd try a 235 or some sort w/ the 6.5" just for experimental reasons. For some odd reason,
my '89 won't clear a 225 55 16 with slicers and the fender lips cut, whereas my '91 would clear
with ease w/o the lips cut. I ended up cutting them to fit my Mark 8 rims, though. Those are a
bastard!
