I agree the cars look better when the arches are filled although a 65 profile is a bit too much sidewall for my liking.
225/60/17 is a good compromise, and looks well proportioned in the arch. ;)
There's mine on the 17" Trek rims, with 225/60/17 Maxxis 771 AT tyres. The proportions work well with this size.

However could you advise on whether 235’s will fit on a 7j rim? Some websites say no, others say they will???

A 235 really needs to be on a 7½" rim as a minimum, but an 8" rim would be better. This is to maintain support in the side walls.
The grip difference between 225 and 235 is negligible, so there's no real loss going for the 225. The 225 will give better turn in, as the side wall will be straighter, and have more support as a result.

Personally, I can't see what wrong with 195 80 ****ing 15.

There's nothing wrong with 15" wheels, but they do look a bit narrow in my eyes, and the Freelander definitely does ride and handle progressively better with each extra inch of wheel 16" is better than 15", 17" is better than 16" and 18" are better 17" wheels, 18" wheels is by far the best for handling available, with better turn in, and best braking too. ;)

For my freelander td4 from 2004 I am looking for a new set of AT tires. Now the car has the 18inch rims under it, but I would like the 17inch trek rims with AT tires. What size do you recommend without having to adjust everything. I was thinking of 235/60/17 or 225/65/17 for the 17inch rim and 235/55/18 for the 18inch. And I have this tire in mind, the Comforser CF1100A/T
