What is the biggest tire size you can put on a 1995 sidekick w/out a lift.

235/75 is pretty much the standard.  You can do some fender clearing and get 29-30" tires on as well.  Most people just throw a spacer lift on so the 30" tires clear without issue.

Check out the Reader Rides section at the top, most people list their tire size and lifts so you can get an idea what the rig will look like.

31" will fit with trimming - especially if you do the Hagen Widening mod:

But... my advice is nearly always to go with 29" A/T or M/T depending on the kind of wheeling you want to do. The more you're okay with faster slow crawl (think I said that right), less power & mpg, the more you can migrate to 31" sized tires.
