All I did on this Triton was to take the front mudflap off, everything else exactly as it came out of the factory.....if you want to call it non standard because of that...whatever. I removed all my mudflaps within a few weeks of receiving my Triton.
I put one of my friend's Cooper STT's onto the standard Triton 7J rim. The 285/75R16 tyre has a true size of 32.8". On his 16x8 Cruiser rim with zero offset, it doesn't work at all, not even on level ground.
We tried it on the front and back, but focused on the front. I drove it up a mound and we bounced it up and down on the front bumpstop. It just just touches at the back of the front wheel arch at full flex and when the wheel is turned about 2 thirds to full lock.
Unfortunately I took no pictures on when we did that, but a few days I put the wheel back and flexed it as much as I safely could at home in my front garden.
Here are a few pics of what it looks like.

maybe its firefox causing the problem?
