    a -25mm offset will be fine and will obviously require flares to cover them

    I am buying a D1 with 35" simex's and it has a neg 25 offset and so is this D1

    in short, a neg offset will push the wheel out of the guard more, a pos offset will send it inboard more

    0 offset 15x8s should fit them fine, i run 37s on that size rim but i would prefer a little wider as it rubs no the upper rear spring hanger, this wont be a problem on a disco though because the spring hangers are smaller to suit the 5in diameter coils, defenders are 6in diameter in the rear.
