    What offset do I need?

    Much to my wife's disgust (and my pleasure) I will be spending some ca$h to beef up my almost ebarrasingly standard 98 V8.
    On the cards for starters after a decent tune up are a 2" lift kit, 33" muddies on 15" steelies, flares and a new exhaust.
    The rims I'm looking at will be Sunraysia/Procomp style (in black of course) but I'm wondering what offset will be required so my tyres (33x12.5x15 Big Horns) won't scrub out on anything.
    I know many of you out there have done similar so can you please shed some light for me?
    Thanks.

    With only a 2'' suspension lift there will be alot of rubbing going on without some major guard trimmimg but it has been done before not shore on the off set you will have to go fairly wide so your tyres don't rub on the radious arms but you don't want to go to wide

    So i would talk to someone who has done the same mod before, maybe Boxer i think he's only running a 2'' lift with 33's

    My rear scrubs with 33s and 2"body+2"lift, just a tad though. Inside the rear wheel arch, body has been modded(with flares)and clears it. Not an issue though it seems.

    As Longstroke said, I've got a 2-inch spring lift and run 285/75/16 (33s) Wrangler muddies.

    Running Dynamic -25 offset 16x8s, I'd stick with 16s on a Disco.

    Mine rubs a teeny bit at the back, but I'm yet to "massage" the problem properly with a knockometer. Front it good though.

    And as I've said before, it goes most places offroad, yet still makes it into the local carpark no dramas.
