33" Mud Tyres on 110 Defender

[Coxy]

Hi Guys


I am looking for some larger mud tyres for my 04 110 Defender, does anyone have these on there's at standard height with a photo they can show me ? very keen to make sure they are going to look good before I purchase.


Thanks

Thanks Steve, I was looking at the same tyres I have read very good reports about them.

My 130 has 285/75R16s on neg 25 rims. Flares to cover them obviously, but standard suspension (for now)

Hasn't rubbed on anything yet.

yes good tyre better the cooper STT which I also own (in my books at least)

keep in mind even on 0 offset wheels the tyres will slightly protrude the guards

Thanks Steve I was just about to ask about that, so can I get a slightly different offset so they sit just inside ? I was just going to get some of those black steel rims to go with them. Thanks

There are two option to get your 33" tall tyres. If your using 16" rims the tyre sizes are all metric sizes.

1/ 255/85x16 - 33" tall about 10"wide. (255mm)

2/ 285/75x18 - 33" tall about 11.5"wide (285mm)

If you choose the 285 you will need to fit after market flares to cover them.

Pics show my SVX with 50mm lift, and "0" off set King rims.

Thanks guys, so it's safe to say if I go for the black steel rims with 0 offset and the 255/85x16s they will fit inside the standard flares as I would rather not replace them to. Thanks Coxy

I think if you use "0" offset wheels will mean you need aftermarket flares. I put my Discovery "0" offset wheels on my Defender whilst I was getting the wheels powder coated, and with 265/75 R16 the stuck out past the guards quite a bit.

I have 255/85 on standard wheels, no rubbing and about 40,000km on them heavily loaded.

KM2 chopped up pretty badly, the Maxxis Bighorns have survived much better.

I like that external roll cage - is there already a thread covering that? Where did you get it from?

[LoveB]

Do they come close to the stock flares?

I'm gonna temporarily put my 33's of the D1 onto the defender while the 110 is in the shop

255 Bighorns with standard heigh Terrafirma shocks and King springs Ive got nothing negative to add at all. Go for it!

It is a Safety Devices 10 point roll cage ( except I didn't install the internal roll bar) so it is the 6 point roll cage, however since in QLD that would require some certification, I made it into a "Ladder/Roof rack" as that doesn't require certification. Doesn't stop it from helping in a roll over though :)

There are quite a few threads on it, as quite a few people have fitted one or something similar. It makes the whole car a lot stiffer, and got rid of a lot of rattles and flexing.

Quite a bit of effort to fit it:

Iain, your tyres looked pretty well shot - how many kms did you get before they looked like that and was it from your big lap?
cheers gerald

[RoboDouche]

Mine stuck out from the guards a little. Not to bad though

What size were yours mate ? I have heard lots of mixed reports due to all different rims I guess, would be good to keep them just inside the guards to save putting aftermarket ones on. Think I will just use the standard alloys I have. Cheers Coxy

I got 285/75's mounted on 0 offset 16x8 sunraisers on my 110 and they fitted perfectly, only very slightly outside the stock flares and still able to get a good steering lock, I've since put the same tyres on Mach5 alloys which are about +10 offset from memory and the rear tyres now rub on the top spring mounts on full articulation and steering lock is a little worse, so from my experience if your going to run 285's I wouldn't really do it on anything less then 0 offset.

I'm running 33 x 10.5 R15's which equates to 265/86R15 on 7J rims (with no offset that I'm aware of) and on full lock they rub on the radius arms.
