"On the door pillar the manufacturer specifies either 15in or 16 inch rims for this vehicle. I think that makes it legal to go the larger rims. "
I don't think it works that way. My Lux for example came factory fitted with either a 205 x 16 or a 255/70 x 15. The 255 works out at 738 mm in diameter. The 205, according to the Bridgestone web site, is 235 mm. That is only a 3 mm difference which is understandable because the manufacturer is not going to fit tyres that will give different final drive ratios, speedo readings and brake ratios.
A 265/70 x 16 is 777 mm or around 40 mm larger. If I was to fit those to
mine I would make it illegal just to get a 20 mm lift.
I don't know what size was originally fitted to a 2001 Bravo but just about everything had a 205 back then as the basic tyre so there is a good chance that was it.
