Yes, they're essentially the same diameter and are a common alternative fitment. They were the standard size on some 90's for a while. Depending on your wheels, you may need to adjust the lock stops slightly to prevent rubbing on the radius arms. Darren

As above. During TD5 era 265/75/16 BFG AT became an option on Boost alloys.

Just be warned, if fitting these to the same rims you will likely lose some turning lock. That is assuming the lock stops were 'optimised' for the original tyres.
