trying to find a taller tire to reduce rpms of motor on a road trip, will a 235 or 245 75 15 fit with a stock 15" steel wheel?

FWIW I have a 255/70/15 on a 15x7 rim.  Fits OK with no rubbing on my XHD MP springed car.  This tire is 29" tall, gives quite an rpm drop over my 26" tire.

That's what I have. You just need the right backspacing on the rims.

I run those on my stock rallye rims
