wide wheels and tyre problems

Hi all I'm wanting to fit wide 15x10 wheels and 33-12.5-15 tyres
Any one had any problems with fitting wide wheels. I'm after the wider look with arch extensions its for a disco 1 by the way any info would be much appreciated
Thanks Andy

I've seen that just wonderd are there any problems as bad fuel consumption/tyres coming of those sort of problems and any idear how big of arches would cover them
Thanks Andy

The main 'problem' fitting bigger tyres is that the acceleration will be incredibly slow. I had 265/75/16 wheels and sold them soon afterwards as I got fed up being so slow. Fitting much bigger tyres will also add extra strain on the gearbox, shafts and diffs.

Speedo will give a false reading as well

Got that combo on my disco,I've also got 3"wide arch extensions on mine.As for fuel consumption and acceleration,its a Land Rover.The road noise from the tyres is terrible,and I love it.If I was you I'd go for it,ya won't regret it.

ive all ways liked the wide look have you had any issues with the tyres coming of due to being wide some one has
said they come of but I don't know just looking for issues before I buy some did you have to cut your arches up
for clearance ive 2" spring spacers and 3" spring =5 " total
