Hi Everyone.

Firstly yes Ive used the search function, yet call me stupid but still cant find my answer.
My question is that I want to install 33 inch tyres to my 94 discovery, from what I have read I should be looking for a -25mm steel rim. My question is what width of rim? -25mm will stick out further on a 8 inch rim, which offset would I use for a 7 inch wide rim ?
Honestly Ive looked.

Thanks in advance for your help

To give the same inner clearance on a 7" wide rim you would need -12 or -13. To be exact, you would need -12.5... the 8" rim will stick out further though, after all, it is 8" wide

G'Day HBWC,

Any chance of seeing those pictures?

I've just got myself a set of 16x8 -25 offset rims.

+33
From what I've read.


I've put my 16x8"s up for sale in Markets, going to get 16x7" if I can find some in the right offset.

Wheel Offset Calculator (http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp)

TO get the same amount of "poke" from a 7" rim as U would with an 8" -25 offset rim, U would need a 7" with an offset of -10. This will give U and extra 23mm track (per side) over the standard 7" OEM rim.

I think thats what the OP was asking?
