Negative -25 Offset Versus 0 Offset with 285s Experience/Thoughts/Photo

[Landy Red]

Anyone got a pic of a 110 running 285s with zero offset wheels and extended arches? As the post title suggests, I am interested in anyone has experience or thoughts running these combinations. Currently I have the -25 rims and 285s, extended flares; looks great and performs really well off-road. Downsides are: that it is not really that legal (trackwidth increase) and flings mud all over the side of the car.
I’d love to see a picture of a zero-offset wheel running a 285 with extended flares fitted.

No need for extended flares when using a zero offset 16 x 8 Dynamic Steel Rim with 285/75 R16 tyres on a Defender. I've been running this combination for years (with Mickey Thompson MTZ's)

This is on a 130, but the front end of a 130 is the same as a 110. A picture of my 130 is in the link in the reply by Strangy

Thanks Strangy, some of those pics were very helpful. They are impressive looking wheels on the yellow truck! Do you still run that combo?

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, your 130 looks good and I'm sure the zero offset with 285s would be a great combination. Thing is, I already have the extended flares fitted, so am trying to suss out whether a zero offset would look a bit trolley like sitting back inside of them.. if that makes sense?

Yep, really happy with the combo.

You are right - zero offset 16 x 8 wheels with 285/75R16 tyres will sit too far inside extended flares. You will be better to have the -25 offset 16 x 8 rims to fill the extended guards

I'll keep my current set up for 4wdriving but in a few months I'll fit some all terrains for family duties. I am thinking getting another set of rims on zero offset and run 265s and keep the 285s on the -25s for play. But it's a bit of outlay for something that might look odd.
