245/75 will go on without any mods, 235/85 will go on but you will have to adjust your full lock stops and might have to lengthen your bump stops, 265/75 will be as above but you will have to trim your arches, this is all a rough guide as all cars are different and it also depends on what wheel rims you have on :wink:   The tyre fitting guide at the top of this forum is very helpful

Have you done the lift yet?
If so, get the sizes that the tyre com in, half the diameter of the tyre and measure from the centre of the hub to see how much room they leave in the arch.

Remember to account for articulation though.  :wink:

If you've not done the lift then get that on there first.

Looking at the ads in the mags than they come in 205R16, 235x85R16 and 265x75R16 so you may need a +2" lift to get anything larger than the 205R16's in there!

You can get the tyre sizes from HERE and then measure as described above. Allow a bit extra as different makes vary in size, especially remoulds like Insa.

This will give you an idea of how close everything will be, the trailing edge of the rear arch is the one to look out for as this will catch on the tyre!

I found my 235/70R16 Machos were bigger than 'normal' 235/70s becasue they were remoulds and had such big tread.
