hang tight I'm sure someone will be able to help................. getting 33's on mine after the new year but mines a 4.2 petrol, so as Growler said...... not sure if it'll make much difference.
I know it's not a Patrol but i used to have a Xtrail, 2.5ltr 4cyl petrol, standard tyres were 215x65x16, replaced them with 235x70x16............. giving an extra 2inches in diameter........... I did notice the car wasn't as quick in acceleration but still pulled ok............ the missus didn't notice a thing!!!!!! lol

Mate, I have a 2.8TD GU with upsized 33s (285/75/18 Maxxis Bighorn)...
NO difference.
1st gear is still as short as it normally is, speedo is pretty much perfect at 100 on the highway.
Offroad....awesome.
More clearance, better grip (on muddies).
I just put a cheap ar$e AT 33" on for the spare today, fits perfectly without reversing the rim, unlike a 35" tyre..
Its not a sports car, but low range and aired down....the 2.8TD loves 33 inch tyres
Benefits of larger tyres...more clearance, possible better grip, defnately a bigger footprint.
If your happy with a "possibly" slower car (by butt dyno)...go for it.
In low range...who cares about over all speed? Gearing, tyre pressure and driver skill will do more than engine size.
