From another thread:

Rolling with laughter Mach 5 15" X 10" with a 40mm offset with 32.5 x 11.5 x 15 Coopers fill your arches to such an extent you can rip the front wing off of a Citroen without so much as a scratch on your truck! Defender 1 Citroen 0!!!


Fekete's boots are 33.5" X 12.5" but he has a 2" lift on his vehicle! I have HD suspension which affords me a standard 1" lift! Can't say for sure but my size may be a bit tight for a standard set up especially if you're going offroad! I do not suffer from any fouling and with the offset bumpstops do not need any adjustment!

Couple of threads that may be of interest:

33/12.50/15 will fit on a standard landy but you need 10j rims Thumbs Up

why do you need 10-15 inch rims ?

there the last size rim id put on a truck

8 inch rims with a 0 offset sits perfect in the wheel arch not sticking out

you just lose a bit of steering lock

i have 35-12.50 r15 on 15x8 rims generall grabber at2 tyres
they sit perfectly flush in the wheel arch Thumbs Up
