Hi Guys,
I've found a set of tyres in the above size, which by my dodgy maths equates to roughly 35" for a good price.
I have a 3" lift so clearance shouldn't be an issue, as it's a defender I expect road noise, and I know it will throw the speedo off a bit, question is, will they give me any other issues?
Cheers.
 
16" rims, 9.5" wide, no idea about the offset, any way I can measure it?. See my avatar for what the wheels look like.
300bhp/ton - clearly I'm over compensating for something!
Marmaduke - I'm going to tell my missus you called her fat!
 
It was a serious question, You can run 33" tyres on stock suspension. Very little need to lift a Defender for off road use unless you are doing something extreme. So I was curious. Doesn't mean you shouldn't. Just wondered why.
 
It had the 3" lift when I bought it!
Is it a good idea to replace half shafts/CVs at the same time as the tyres or will it be ok for a wee while if I take it easy? I don't really have that sort of money just lying around!
Would 285/75/r16 (33") be a more sensible option if I don't want to upgrade the other components just yet?
 
They don't look too bad

Depends. What will you be using it for and what is your driving style?

You can break driveline components on standard tyres. But many people run bigger tyres without issue.
