Update
Well I did it, and thanks BadNick, for that.
I went the 215's on a set of Jeep Wrangler wheels.
Borrowed a GPS and checked the speedo.. Was more acurate with the new tyres which are 2 inches taller! 3% out, at 100 kilometers an hour, actual ground speed is 103.
A very slight problem where the wheel weight was touching the top ball joint, so a lathe was used to trim back the rim edge, by half. (The Jeep wheels have very long lips) The tyres touched the frame slightly on full lock, so I added a thicker piece of flat bar to the turn stops, and all is good. Have now done about 1500 Kms and all is good.
