On a 2000 Venture you can't fit anything larger under the coil spring base. Mine now has about 3/4 inch clearance.
My '97 has 235/60-15s on it with no issues. I do doubt you could put 235/75-15s on it though. The 235's are as wide as I could go on the stock rims. Can't comment on MPG change since the van had 225/60-15s (!) on it when I bought it - too small a diameter in my opinion, but the 235's are just a bit smaller than stock diameter.
