I have seen recommendations for two sizes of tires for 16" wheels:

LT215/85R16
LT225/75R16

Are there any pros/cons between these?

The 225 has a radius that is about 3.5% less than the 215 which will give a
lower overall gear ratio, this to some would be a gain.

Which one is closer to the original size? (speedometer considerations).

Are there any wheel well clearance considerations?

Thanks,

Scott
