I got these BFG KM2 35x12.5 R15s last week, I have a fair lift though. Any bigger wheels or less lift and i think there would be a problem!
Take a look! :5bdrool5:

I have just got a set of insa turbo special track 285/75 16s i still need to adjust the steering lock but im not sure if that will even stop it rubbing on the radius arms i need a lift now because it rubs on the rear arches when i go over speed bumps i also had to cut the corners off the rear arches to stop it rubbing when i went round corners so if anyone was wondering what tyres will fit on a standard defender you can get away with about 35" with only a very small amount of trimming until you can afford a lift kit so i have to just be a poser for a couple of weeks now
285/75/16 are around 33.5 inches not 35 inches

the insa turbos are around 34" to 34 an a half when i mesure them i think it is because they are remolds and the lugs on the side are huge
That looks great. How much lift do you have?I got these BFG KM2 35x12.5 R15s last week, I have a fair lift though. Any bigger wheels or less lift and i think there would be a problem!

here it is with the tyres on i have fitted terrafirma medium springs so the the tyres dont rub on the rear arches when im off road other than that all i have had to do is adjust the steering lock to stop the huge treads on the sidewalls rubbing on the radius arms now i just need to save up for 5" shocks at £50 a corner it might be a while

right im having a problem with the tyres now at 40 the steering wheel wobbles and at 60 it is un drivable so i have to sit at 50 on the motorway where it is sort of ok if i dont try to change lane too fast so i have been to every local tyre fitter and no one said they could fit them on there balencing machine but the sixth garrage gave it a go he got a reading of 210 and 245 and said he couldnt balence them and didnt even bother putting any lead on or checking the other three wheels anyone know if he was right or just bullsh*ting me by the way he struggled to get the wheel off the car and could not lift it on to the machine an i had to put it back on the car puff

no he is not lying to you mate, they are retreads and 35". they will be nigh on impossible to balance. u have bought an offroad tyre designed for offroading and now you are wondering why you are having problems with it under normal road conditions.... if you want an all rounder you almost always get what you pay for in the tyre world.
you can buy balancing bags that fit inside the tyre i think Devon4x4 sell them i dont know if they work though
