Hello
I Have a 110 with the same tyres and sawtooth 16" rims. After 6 months I'm now used to the turning circle not being great. However I also do like the wider stance... That then brings its own issues though, if you go wider tyres more likely 'even' more road noise. If they stick out a little beyond the arches then dirt D-fenders will be needed if you want the side of your car from not having road much up the side. From what I Have read you can have the bump stops wound out about to help the turning? I've not done this but could be worth a try. The offset of the wheel depending which one will give you the same 'stance' as fitting a 30mm spacer but its obviously but into the structure of the rim. I guess its a compromise, I use mine as a daily car and athough I do like the looks of 265 tyres or larger I also like the way these work. Its also OEM for Landrover so if they thought this size is good then that's good 
What colour is your 110. Here is mine (clean, does not look like this currently..) These are your tyres with sawtooth 16" alloys.  Click image to enlarge I have 30mm spacers on my spreadsheet of upgrades along with dirt D fenders, so it will happen one day. As long as you get the hub centric ones they should be absolutely fine. I will probably wait until my insurance renewal though as my current policy wanted £50 if I fit spacers.. |

^^^^ steering stops rather than bump stops, the latter are for suspension at bump.
wider tyres wont decrease turning circle unless you have to adjust the steering stops to stop the tyres rubbing the radius arms, if they do rub its an MOT failure and of course that will itself limit the amount the wheel can turn.

Thanks for the info Stacy.....nice landy. Mine is a daily drive as well although I do a few long trips in it once in a while so don't want to totally compromise on turning circle and road noise etc. It does get a little bit of off road, not as much as I'd like, but the majority of the lanes round my way are so choked up with trees etc it's hard to find any that won't rip the roof rack off! The odd farmer's field etc is more the norm for me sadly. Food for thought I think. Here's a pic of mine below, it's Santorini Black under the road grime

If spacers aren't your thing as you've said above then a different offset wheel will give you the same effect, you could probably wind your steering stops in with the wheels and tyres you have now to increase your turning circle.
As for tyres Id go for 265/75/16 for wider stance or 255/85/16 for a good width and a little extra ground clearance, although will upset the gearing/speedo slightly. |

I've just put spacers on and adjusted steering stops to max and the turning circle is much much better!
