I ran 215/75/15 BFG ATs on the stock rims with no lift and loved them. No rubbing at all. I could have gone with 225s or 235's, but I was worried I would get some rubbing during full articulation. You could go with the 225s or even the 235s and get no rubbing if you spend most of the on the pavement.

A lot of people here have ran the 235s with no lift and been happy with just the minor rubbing they've had. You do need to use the stock wheels though, or ones that have the same width and back spacing. If not, you will get rubbing with even 225s.

The 215s do look a little more aggressive than the stock tires, but to give it that aggressive look you are after have the tire shop mount up a pair of each. One pair on each side of the car and have a look. They can even flex the suspension and turn the wheel for you to see if there is going to be any rubbing.
