Do you want a Road all terrain. Or a 4wding all terrain.
Big difference between the two.

G'day mate and welcome. Don't worry about the size too much. I would change all 5 to a 285/75r16 as a much more common tyre. They are a "33" and will do the job well.
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!
....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Would they fit under standard suspension? Thought they would be too big

They fit no problems, even with no lift.
Much better tyre size.
