35" Tyres

Looking to put 35's onto my defender. Question is, will I get away with fitting 35/12.5 tyres onto my existing 16 x 8 wheels?

Has anyone fitted them to 8" wheels or will I absolutely have to get 10" wheels?

I ran 305/70/16 which are 33 x12 inches wide on 16x8s no bother so the width should be ok.

The only thing with 35's is you'll need a lift kit and possibly a better offset so probably ET0 or maybe even more negative

No problem, just be aware of when you letting air out for better traction on soft ground, the risk of rip the tyre off the rim is greater. This also depends of wich tyremake you choose ( sidewall stiffness). God luck
