BFG AT KO2 33x12.5 15 on 8" modulars??
I'm looking at getting a set of BFG AT KO2 33x12.5x15 on modulars. The usual size people go for is a 10j rim. I've had that in the past and it looks good and behaves well. I've heard it mentioned though people putting the 12.5s onto 8j rims and the tyre isn't poking out outside the arches.
Can anyone here confirm? Any photos?? How does it affect turning?

Oh, bonus question - where to get complete wheel packages? I've seen 4x4tyres.co.uk and tyresdirectuk.co.uk do complete packages in my size but are there others?

It'll definitely poke on an ET0 wheel, my 265/75/16 sit flush on 8x16 ET 0

My old 33s where on 15x10 with a -32 offset, so I cant comment on the rest 1993 200 Tdi 90 CSW

I ran 35's on 15x8 zero offset mods and they didn't stick out past the arches much. It was more the sidewall bulge. Personally I wouldn't go to 10" wide. I had handling issues caused by the 10" rim pulling the crown of the tyre too flat causing really bad tramlining and pulling under breaking

Have you any photos of it running the 8" wheels?
I ran 10" in the past and I didn't have any issues myself which is why I'm a small bit reluctant to go to 8 even though the 8s might save me having to put on wider arches.
