235/75 is gonna run 33mm closer to your guards than your 205/75 so you need to lift it about that much. more would be good, but not completely necessary.

Easiset solution is basically any off the shelf 2" suspension.

Cheapest is probably 8 alloy or HDPE blocks about 30mm high.... (you can lose 3mm I think with no problem)

standard rims, no spring lift, no body lift and no rubbing :D
although this is on my missus zook and it see's no off roading (yet :twisted: ) I ran mine with no lift and 30x9.5x15 Bridgestone M/Ts with only minimal rubbing on the chassis on full lock before going to the 3" bodylift.
