What did you expect chemistry?

Anyway your argument is invalid as making them wider does increase the height as well, as that bit is percentage wise. I am sure you knew that.
Perhaps somebody with some sort of experience can confirm or infirm that 225/70/16 would go silky smooth?

No. I really am an ignorant fool! Every day is a school day
Besides, us Freelander lot have to stick together, any messing about will ALWAYS be directed at the tratterers.
Hey you two carry on in here leave our Tratters alone
Can’t see 7mm in height making much difference (15mm did increase) or for that matter the 5mm extra width (each side of tyre).
Check on full lock and see what gap you have around existing tyre

lol. Got to take the opportunities where I find them
Those will fit, but will be reasonably close to the spring cups. They will be about 28.4" in diameter.
My current setup is 235/55/18, which have a diameter of 28.2", but have a good 10mm between the spring cups and the tyres.
That means there will only be around 5mm for me between the tyre and spring cap. To be honest sounds scary and I should prob be safer with current 215/70/16 or 225/65/16 which will be a bit wider not looking like a toy car. That is of course if the rim wideness won't affect the "look".
You can put a 5mm spacer shim on the hub, which will push the wheel out and away from the spring cup.
The 16" wheels will look fine with an extra 5mm of tyre each side.
