If you are not goping to do a body lift, make sure that you lengthen your bump stops so that they will not hit. 3.54 diffs and 10 spline axles will handle 33's without any issues. You might find it a bit sluggish on the road on hills. If you go to 4.11 diffs, you will need to upgrade the axles.

The blue rangie at the beginning of this link http://rangerovers.net/outfitting/ti...ssictires.html
is mine with 33 inch (255/85/16) tyres on standard width discovery rims. However the rims have had the centres cut out and reversed for the extra off set. The rangie has a 2 inch body lift. The wheel arches had to be cut to fit the wider tyres and different offset. Even with cutting the guards the tyres were hitting with a 2inch spring lift and a 1 inch body lift. I had to go to a 2 inch body lift. But I do have softer springs that the spring lifts you buy off the shelf as I wanted to retain the full articulation of the axles.
