If you wheels are stock 55/56 you are pushing it on size now. To go wider you need to go to 7 inch rims.

so on the 215x75x15 don't rub now, if I add a 7 or 6 inch rim would it rub, I like Coker they mount balances tires rims and delivers them...

I run 225/70/15s on 6 inch wheels 3 3/4 BS no rub on my 56. Same wheels with 215/70/15s on 55 with 15x10s on rear.
