dag019 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Yes, that is what I have fitted currently. The approved rim width for this tyre is 7.0 - 8.0 https://www.performancealloys.com/pdfs/BFGoodrich-All-Terrain-TA.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Drumstick Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Or you could have tried Googling it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shutler1 Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Thanks dag019 much appreciated. Chicken drumstick... indeed i could, or i can just ask in a forum, which im pretty sure is what they are here for. If you dont want to answer the question, whats the point in answering at all.

Chicken Drumstick Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Was trying to help you out. As you could have found the answer in maybe 90 seconds of Googling, rather than having to wait hours for a reply on a forum. For the record, which is also mostly why I answered they way I did. You basically asked would a standard fitment tyre for a Defender fit a standard fitment sized rim... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Drumstick Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 But how would that have helped you next time round? I have no issues with people asking questions. But sometimes it's probably worth a tiny bit of effort up front first. Especially when it's either a super easy question or a question with an exact answer rather than an opinion. I'm not trying to mean or difficult. But in some ways it's like asking people to tell you what your favourite colour is or is a Land Rover 4wd.

WesBrooks Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Didn't realise 8J was ever a standard fitment on Defenders, at least on standard specs rather than specials. Be careful with the offsets. I'd eyed up ET0 for the equivalent of 33" tyres. I think ET-32 is standard. Modulars come in a huge range. I think more posative (often referred to as deep dish) gives a wider track/vehicle. For the MOT you need to ensure you can't see any of the tread from directly above. I'll check my notes later.

So is this one of the Construction and Use things that will only really clobber you if you get pulled for a road side check or investigated after an accident? Not suggesting that the wheel protrusion is, or is not likely to be a contributing factor in an accident, merely trying to clarify when it is likely to cause the vehicle driver an issue.

Bowie69 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Yep, can get pulled by the police for it, as you surmise, a C&U issue. It is there because of lack of containment of debris or spray causing poor visibility for following drivers, and potential damage from stones etc. So yes, it is likely to cause a driver an issue, if a traffic cop takes issue with it, it is enough to get pulled for sure, and then the rest of your vehicle is up for closer scrutiny, which even for the most scrupulous of LR owner will still bring on an attack of nerves.

WesBrooks Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Thanks Bowie. I appreciate the potential risks. My comment; 'Not suggesting...' was just trying to make sure no one misinterpreted my post as trying to kick of a carp storm. I thought there was an issue with the poking out, but wasn't 100% sure on when it would be picked up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more negative the offset, the further out the wheel will sit. ET-32 means the mounting face is 32mm closer to the centre of the car than the centreline of the wheel.

I think standard is ET32 rather than -32 then. I'll get my coat and leave this thread alone. Causing more hassle than help! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
