Think these may be a bit big

Picked up some more wheels and tyres for the 110 yesterday. BFG KM2s 33 x 12.50 x 15 on ET0 modulars. I knew they were wider than the existing ones but when compared side by side they seem like whoppers

Might be a bit Carlos Fandango for me but I will put them on and see how they look and drive.

Only people of a certain age will know what Carlos Fandango means!! The rest will have to google it

I'm running 315/75/16 on the Black 110. They're equivalent to a 35/12.15
You might lose some lock as I'm running et-32 wheels, does mean they stick out and you need wider arches however...

2015 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 USW Corris Grey

Here you go, every other vehicle here has that size fitted

A significant disadvantage is the amount of muck up the side of a vehicle, and stone damage if on gravel roads.

showing my age a little, oops

Thanks for the pic BogMonster

Coincidentally, I was out on Salisbury Plain yesterday with someone who had this size on his 110. They fill the arches nicely and did not stick out too far but you are right, there was loads of mud spattered all up the side of his truck.

I might keep the 235s on the tdi for now and save these for the td5

What are the 35's like on upwards travel. Will they damage the arches?

This was my last 110 on 255 / 85's with a two inch lift

This is my 90 with about 7cm lift and 35" Simexes.

As you can see I modified the wheelarches a bit, but this really depends on the ET value off the rims. Roel
