Welcome to NewTriton.

Conundrum? Hardly. The question has been asked about a zillion times. I've moved your post here, but any of three or four other threads would have done.

Have a look here http://www.newtriton.net/phpbb/search.php?keywords=will+285s+fit&terms=all&author=&sc=1&sf=all&sr=posts&sk=t&sd=d&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=Search

Also, if you haven't already, go through the other 285/75R16 threads in the Forum Directory, most of which have the answer to your question, which is yes.

You may not get flamed, but you won't get any support or sympathy here on the lift that you're intending to fit. Here it's either illegal, dangerous or both, with good reason and we don't recommend it at all. See this Search and, particularly, this post. I know it's not illegal in the UK and maybe Ireland as well, but failure of this type of modification has been the direct cause of some terribly tragic deaths in England, that I know of.

You may also want to consider that the Triton is intended to have a slightly nose down attitude and levelling it out can impact on both handling and fuel consumption.

There is a thread dedicated to pictures of wheels on Tritons. Possibly somewhat decimated by the Photobucket fiasco, but many pages to go through there.

I take your point on the lift.

With regards to the question being asked a number of times, my question is not will 265s fit, or will 285's fit, or what offset, or whatever other combination of questions have already been asked.

I just want to see some examples of 265's with a 2/3 inch lift.

I have also been through the shed... some look okay, others look small... I don't know if its bad photography or good photography.

Is the general consensus that 265's will look too small with a lift?

Pic of 265/75R16s on Triton? Easy.

I don't think they looked too small but bear in mind I had a fairly big 2" lift, running around 590mm at the front.

All tyre manufactures list a rim width recommendation for their tyres in different sizes and this width will vary manufature to manufacture.
I know some mobs say 265 will go on 7" rims where others recommend 7.5.
I suggest you discuss with a tyre distributor as 285 can go either way on 7.5" but from memory 8" and up is preferred

Hmm sounds like a 255/85 is a easier option to make fit.
