Remember that the SJ will need DVLA informing that will mean an increase in VED.

arnt they classed as sand tyres and yes iv'e cut them before years ago but not legally
needs to be on 3.5 ton and over to cut tyres legally
the tyer will fit on the rim, and it will proably stay up on the rim just fine, tyers are amazingly tough things and will stick all sorts of stupid abuse, just look at the vw scene and stretching, lets pop a 165 over a 9" rim they seem t get away with that just fine.
personaly i wouldn't mismatch tyer and rim widths for anything going on the road because i've had a golf GTi and met a copper in a bad mood who needed to write some tickets. to me it's one of those simpel ones but even say if you were technialy ok but it looked wrong chould so easly turn into, 3,6,9,12 ( if there being really really nasty + 6 for the full 18 ) and look who's walking.
howevere if it's off road whats round will go round till it's not round

Stretched tyres are probably one of my biggest hatreds on the road, and frankly anyone on the public highway with them should have their car confiscated

According to this site http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible_pg4.html the answer is NO. Acceptable rim widths for a 235/75/15 tyre varies between 6.5 x 15 to 8 x 15. Scroll down and look for the section called 'An ideal rim-width calculator'.
So it would be legal if they were fit on a Landrover since they are 3.5ton gross ?
I know those tyres will fit on a Landrover because they were/are what the British Army used on their Landrovers.
The 110 is, I used to have one and remember looking at the data plates for weight limits etc and it can legally tow a 3.5t trailer so all up weight of 7t and yes I did it

the 3.5 ton is unladen weight
Ahh! so to be allowed to re-cut tyres the vehicle has to weigh 3.5 unladen, fair enough, the 110 is round about the 2t mark empty, 3.5 laden.

110 can tow 4 ton trailer but must have close coupled brakes
