235/75/15 is the best tire to fit on that rim and your L300
"Pop a bead" is in reference to the connexion between the tyre and the rim. The part of the tyre that connects to the rim is the bead. If a tyre is too large for a rim then there is a chance that, say on a corner, enough sideways pressure could be exerted on the side-wall of the tyre that the bead might let go, as it is already under duress. That being said, it is my observation that a 235/75R15 is approximately 29.5 inches in diameter and nine and a quarter inches in the track. I have seen thirty inch tyres on tear drop Delica rims, a number of times, they seem secure. I would consider going to a few tyre shops and getting their opinions, preferably Delica friendly ones. How did the tyre blow? Was there a hole involved? Did the tyre rip? Did the tyre come right off the rim?
