Thanks @Cupboard - very comprehensive and great info - appreciated...

Currently looking at this combo which isn't massively out of my price range:

4 x
16" X 6.5" TUFF TORQUE WOLF STYLE WHEEL WHITE ET20 FITTED WITH
235/85/16 COOPER DISCOVERER AT3 120/116R
PRICE £569.36

How much do you reckon I'd get for my 5 wheels... plenty of tread on them and the spare is unused...

Price seems about right to me. Would you just be giving up the spare though?

No idea on the price for your current ones, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to get a reasonable amount for them but you might find that you get more takers somewhere with a greater number of Disco owners.

Cupboard,..will the 265/75 be a satisfactory fit on current Puma dual finish alloys without any fouling (on the chassis/body etc) issues?

I would think so but I'm not an expert!
Lots of people do fit them and I know the taller 255/85 is OK on a 110 at least. As I say, 265s were standard on the NAS 90s so I can't see there being an issue. You should be fine on LR alloys, I think they're all 7" rims (the Boosts definitely are) so in spec for a 265.

Obviously it will reduce the turning circle and need your steering locks adjusting (assuming you've got them adjusted for 235s at the moment which they seem to not do well at the factory). The fixes for that are wheels that stick out further (and I can never remember what that is in terms of positive or negative offset) or spacers which I think you said were illegal in Australia. Or just stick with 235s which would be my preferred option for me Laughing
