Found the issue of LRO it was January 07 it states for a series that the maximum without modifications is 235 / 85 R16, the maximum with minimal modifications is 285 / 75 R16 and the modification required is suspension.
Though it doesn't state what the modification is.....
I'm sure bigger wheels and tyres could be fitted but then you would have to do substantial work to the suspension, bodywork and possibly the steering. So really all down to how far you want to go!! A reputable wheel and tyre dealer should be able to help....
Remember too that your speedo could also be thrown out if you change the rolling radius of the tyre! (Assuming it works..... )

I've got them on now and am quite pleased with them but am new to Off roading so wondered if other opinions matched my own.
I fancy some bigger wheels and tyres for serious mud work but will they make much difference?
Those Insa turbo remoulds that paddocks do look mean and effective i must admit, but if they're no better in performance off road than my deestones then i'll save my £300!
Oh yeh, they're pretty poor in the wet on road too, very slippy!

what rims are you using?
original spec swb are 5" which is a little narrow for 750's and you might find the tyres are a little pinched
For 750's you should really use 5.5" wide rims (LWB standard spec)
