I was tempted to fit my Territory wheels and rubber to the ute (they were 235/60R17) .... but I doubt it'd work ... even when raised ... looks like it'll foul with the inner guards.
Inside the Territory wheel wells ... they are much deeper than the Falcon's. You'd need to remove the plastic inner guards and see how it goes.

Change your front suspension to RTV setup (and get rear raised to match), and you should be OK.

I'm guessing they wouldn't be legal as you would be changing your rollinig diameter would change a bit.

RTV has only slightly higher profile tyres than standard (65 vs 60 series). I have seen an AU ute though with taller 4x4 tyres on it, can't think what the size was & of course don't know what was done to fit them
