Can anyone tell me if a tyre size 235/75/15 will fit on the wheel who's original size is 225/75/15 ????

Course it will – it's hardly any bigger. Probably won't handle as well, though, what with bigger footprint etc.

Not in 12 minutes

It depends on the width of the rim, not the original tyre size

It will fit on the rim but will be slightly narrower and slightly larger in diameter,or that might be the other way around (I THINK)

The 235 is the width, so it'll be wider; the 75 is the profile as a percentage of the width – so it'll be slightly taller too. But the difference will be negligible.
