Cool Tire help

I'm new to the forum, and have been searching around but I'm still very confused about tires sizes. I have a pretty much stock 1993 dodge dakota 4x4 v6. I need new tires to pass inspection, so I figured I'd throw some bigger tires on there for now, if I can, until i can lift it or something.

My question is:
What tire size in " 235/75/15 " form can I put on?
I dont know what size tires are on there right now, but I'd like to put on 30s or 31s depending on what I can fit at stock height on my 15in stock wheels. I've seen some people say that you can fit 31s, others say you can't.

Thanks for the help!

Here is a copy and paste from the FAQ2 in this section.
What can I fit on my 4x4?
Stock...29 -30 inches
1-2 inches... 31s
2-4 inches... 33s
4-5 inches... 35s
Check http://www.4wheeloffroad.com/techart...ide/index.html

As for what size in metric it depends on how wide and tall you want. Use a calculator like this one. http://www.4lo.com/calc/geartire.htm
