Hi all,
Would anyone know if I could stick a set of 215/85/16 on to replace the 215/75/16 the rear looks like it would be fine just worried the front will rub.
Thanks in advance

As long as they're all the same you should be fine, if not the ABS system, (if fitted), will have a hissyfit. Might throw the speedo reading out a tad too.

Welcome to the forum mate!
85s are like super overkill; I have to ask why?

I looked on eBay for some budget all terrain tyres and couldn’t find any the original size but found Hi Fly vigour 215/85/16 4 tyres for £279. We need all terrain tyres as the van spends quite a bit of time off road as we race Mx.

I see why now mate; you're right 215 75 16 in all terrain is quite an odd size to find.
