The question is if you change tyre size from 205 75 R16 to I believe 205 85 R 16 is next size up or what is available in higher profile to suit rims and in question landcruiser gearing what will be the change in gearing and revs in 5th gear and hopefully fuel economy. Also a comparison to changing diff ratios. Interested to here

Well first of all in QLD it would be illegal because you changed the tyre size by more than 15mm (20.5m). But I note you are in NSW :-)

Have a look at this site:

It does a direct comparison of tyre size and offset requirements
Cheers

Have a look here for the new NCOP regulations:

4wds now can have a 50mm increase in tyre diametre up from the original size. This is now legalised in Vic, not sure of the other states.
