trying to get my head around offset wheels!

AlexE · Feb 10, 2013

hi all right i have searched this but cant seem to find a definite answer on this, so just want to try and clarify a few things,

im after either some 33" or 285 tyres, currently the landy has 205 tyres!

its been lifted 2" already so looks like a shopping trolley!

my standard wheels are 16" but for 33" tyres i would need new 15" offset rims? but with how much offset?

or if i got some 285/75/16 tyres would i need spacers or offset wheels again? if so how much offset?

ive been looking at these two packages

but would they fit straight on with no problems?

or would it be easier to just get some 265 tyres for now as they will be a massive improvement on the current tyres any way and loads cheaper?

cheers for your help

I have 265's on. I rub on full lock.
They look plenty meaty enough.

I have a set of 235 MUDs but never put them on as they look a bit dinky in comparison. I also have a 2" lift

Did you have to fit a wide arch kit to take the tyres? They look good and are soo much cheaper than 33's!

Cheers for you're help mate

Dunno about the arches. They are the flexi I breakable ones.

i have 33" BFG's on paddocks modular wheels, they dont rub on full lock at all and I never adjusted the lock stops but they do stick out a fair bit and it would be better to have wider arches. Its not lifted.

You must have no articulation then not to destroy your arches

I had to trim away some of the plastic of the arches, mostly the lip

When the wheel moves up it also goes in so its not much of a problem

On the front it hits the extended bump stop and the tyre is within mm's of the tyre

The back must hit somewhere as the arches have come loose

I will replace the arches when i find some I like.
