You may need to flatten the seam on the inside of the wheel arch.

I don't know the legal requirements in Turkey, but in the UK if the top surface of the tyre, showing the tread pattern, is outside of the arch then wheel arch extensions will have to be fitted.

235 wide tyres on the original rims will not project beyond the arches.

I forgot to mention that with the 85's being a larger diameter tyre, you will be travelling slightly faster than the speed shown on the tacho.

Tacho  -  Actual speed
10 km/h - 10.1
30 km/h - 31.9
50 km/h - 53.1
70 km/h - 74.4
90 km/h - 95.6
110 km/h - 116.9
130 km/h - 138.1
150 km/h - 159.4

That's unusual, most speedos are deliberately optimistic. The L300 on standard 215/80/15s is actually travelling around 7-10% slower than it's speedo would indicate. Those tyres have a rolling diameter of 29". Having fitted 31"diameter tyres on the rear, the speedo is now more or less accurate, according to sat nav indicated speed. PS tacho is the rev counter.
