Wow! I am getting 28.4 inch diameter on that wheel.
Stock 165-80-15 diameter is 25.4 ".
+12% gearing for starters.
3 inches taller might rub in the top of the wheel well,
and that width might hit the tip of the front fender.
Sketchy,at best.

140 offset is 40mm so the front wheel drive wheels
work pretty well.
I would want to know the offset
and rim width on the new wheels.
Sounds like new tires are in order in any case.
