slightly larger tire

I'm going to put some new AT3s on the Libby. ($70 Cooper rebate until 4/15!) I just replaced the shocks, and when I did that, put an extra upper spring isolator in the rear and a 1/4" spacer in front...so, a whopping 1/2" lift. My question is: can I go with 235/75R16 rather than the stock 225/75R16? Per the Cooper website, the difference in overall diameter is 29.72" vs 29.13".

What do you actually measure middle of the wheel to bottom of the flare?
If it is like most that are 1.5 inches below stock height then with a 1/2 inch " lift" you'd still be below stock
So let us know for a good answer instead of guessing

tires will work you are 1/4 to 1/2 inch higher in the rear than new stock height and between one and 1.25 higher in the front
