I don't know the specific answer your dealer should though. Go for the BFG mud terrains, you won't regret it, I've had both.
 
Dunno without looking it up, but unless it's to look "manly" as wide as legally possible is often not the most effective footprint off road.
 
cant stickout past wheel arches its an mot fail apart from that whatever size will fit dont go to big it will drive like crap better off sticking to standard size

I'd second that the AT's don't come close and the MT's don't make much noise on the road,offroad they are brilliant.
 
should be a plate in the drivers door jam with the tire size or in the owners manual. If you want to go bigger, you've got to keep the same circumference to keep the speedometer correct and maybe other things as far as the computer goes (??)... Either do the monkey math or ask a tire dealer... Can prolly just google it also....

good luck
 
If I remember rightly bfg don't do M/T in exactly the right size so you either have to go narrow or go to a wider imperial size. I went narrow but wish I had gone for wider as they do cut wheelings.
 
I put 225/75/16 BFG ATS on my 04 Hilux . more or less a one for one swap from 205 / 80 / 16 original fitment , has had no effect on handling or steering lock
 
+1 on the mud terrains over all terrains if you're going anywhere near a soft field or any kind of mud! my old Defender used to spin up all four wheels in gooey mud with all terrains on but not so with mud terrains.

Tire Size Calculator This isn't the exact one I used but it will show you what speeds you will be doing if you change tyre size but bear in mind factory speedos have up to a 10% reduction in actual speed to help prevent you get caught speeding. According to my sat nav my Jinmy speedo is more accurate with bigger tyres than it was with standards.
