    I think you may need a quarter chop.If they are as i expect 10.5" wide or wider and you will definitely need offset rims.Hope this helps

    IIRC the 33x10.5-16 on 16x8's measure 260mm through the bag.

    yeah they are 10.5 wide how much off set would you recon? how much extra cutting do you think would be needed or would a body lift fix it?

    im running the same tyres on my disco rims with the only prob being my turning circle has been cut in half,i have a 2 inch body lift,2 inch suspension and have a quarter panal chop and have removed the door sills and trimmed the front also,soon will have a flare kit with a proper guard cut.

    if you are only running 33s i wouldnt do a bodylift,just fit a set of flares and get +25mm offset rims im running 35s at the moment on my disco 1 and i got flares offset 15x8" rims and 3"spring lift it only just scrapes the rear flare in full flex,im just about to do a 2 and a half inch bodylift,but i think it would be unnecessary for you to do a bodylift with 33s.
