Morning!
I have the above wheels on my current Defender with 205/16 on them. I would like to add BF Goodrich All Terrain 235/85r16. Some say it should fit and some say no. Does anyone know ?

How wide are your wheel rims ?
205 are circa 1" narrower than the 235's (in rim width requirements). There is always wiggle room, you may find that the 205's are slightly undersized for the rim and the 235's slightly over.

Looks like he’s on 7.5” rims, the calculator reckons 235/85 should be on 6”-7”.
