Excellent thanks that's exactly what I wanted to know...

265/70/17's will give me 7.3" of rubber between rim and road and a diameter of 31.6". Ground clearance will also increase 1.3" over stock. Speedo will change by 8.9% which is a bit of a bummer but I use an aftermarket satnav that give me accurate speed anyway.

They even look quite good in that link... not too naf!
