spacers to stop wheels rubbing on radius arms

and ext arches to stop the mud flinging up the side

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

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
