spacers to stop wheels rubbing on radius arms

and ext arches to stop the mud flinging up the side

Why do you need the biggest tyres you can get on it ?

skoobysnaks · Sep 30, 2012

A few reasons
I've got an off roader with brand new 235 75 15's goodrich mud terrains.
I get sucked into the ruts round here and it throws me all over the feking place. When you have a back full of logs it aint fun.
Plus I have the dough and want a defender with big fat wheels

Hello everyone.
Complete newbie to the world of Land Rover, but looking at getting my feet wet.
Considering buying a defender which has a Terra Firma 2" lift already done.
I could do with answers to these next questions as I have carried out a search on here and had a thread running, but have had and read very mixed opinions.
How big and wide without to much work.
ie 31 33 35 x 10.50 12.50 13.50

What steel rims exactly
ie 15 16. 8" 10". and what offset etc type of deepdish

Spacers needed? how much adjustment if any to arches, I don't want to do much.
Your knowledge would be appreciated, Thank you

Had a 90 put 2jn lift on. put 16 modulars on with biggest offset and stt 33x12.50 tyres .had to adjust steering stops slightly.no probs with it

Thank you for the info. Do you know what I need to ask/look for regarding the offset and are they 10" wide rims
No spacers needed either then?
Cheers
