How wide can I go?

I'm going to be picking up a 2000 Astro AWD soon. I am also planning on putting a 4" lift in right away $\:D/$
So my question is with these rims
U.S. Wheel 94 Series Black Modular Wheels(15 x 7 with a 3.75" backspace)

how much do you think a 255/70-15 or 265/70-15 rub?

Those are the same style wheels I have on my '96 Safari. Mine are 15x8 with 255-70-15 tires. No lift so they did rub. I modified the wheelwells for clearance. With a lift they should work fine. $\:D/$

ANy chance I could see some pics of your van to give me a better idea how they'd look?

in my opinion, you gotta trim lifted or not. but with a little cutting and hammering those will fit just fine.
