Picked up a brand new set of five at billing as I recently discovered that the ones on mine are original KOs (not 2s) dated from late 2002 so are dangerous to use now being 20 plus years old.

The ones on right now are 235 85 R16 but the ones I bought are 265 75 16

Am i going to run into any issues here with size?

I hope not as i spent almost a grand on them. I have been waiting 7 weeks for General Grabber AT3s to arrive with no luck. They just don’t seem to be shipping at all.
 
What rims do you have? BFG say you need min of a 7" wide rim for a 265/75.

They are exactly what i have just fitted to mine. I hvae 8" wide rims however as @300bhp/ton mentions above you need at least 7 so they cannot be fitted to standard or HD (wolf) rims. This is my third set of BFG At's in this side and have had no issues with any of them.

They will fit just fine (1.1 inches wider), slight speedo change etc

Just fitted same to myne, i fitted myne with white lettering on inside, personally i hate the "jeep wrangler' look.

I confirmed with Michelin ( BF Goodridge are made by Michelin) tyres are symetrical so choice is yours.

I didn’t get a choice that is how the tyre place fitted them to the rim. Like I said my third set and in my experience unless you actively repaint it the white lettering rubs off in about 12months if you use your Land Rover for Land Rover things rather than for the school run.

According to BF godridge it does'nt, its white rubber moulded into the side wall, so cant be rubbed off? maybe they telling porki pies....
 
Well, if so, it's a very thin layer of white rubber, which can easily be scuffed off if you park close to kerbs.
 
Kerbing might well destroy the outter sidewall and writing. But the white lettering shouldn't rub off in normal use, not even off road.

Is that an air scoop on your wing Mr Kiss ?
And a snow cowl, on the blank wingtop inlet ?

it is indeed, always had the scoopy so cannot say if it does very much other catch mice and low flying birds,
The NSF wing felt left out on the snowcowl front so give it one to keep it quiet!:D
