32s to 33s on my D3?
I currently have 275/65/18 on my NAS D3, and with a modest software lift and rerouting of the EAS loom, I’m doing just fine. However, I’m looking to fit some 285/50/22 tires which will be 1” greater in diameter and .4” greater in width.
My wife drives this truck on road (and I’m keeping the 18s for off-road use) so no need to debate the efficacy or style choice (-;
Does anybody have experience fitting 33” tires, and what additional work must be done?

I would imagine that the correct width and offset of a 22" rim to take a 285/50/22 tyre will rub on various components.
If it's not Land Rover rims and I don't know if the 22" FFRR/RRS rims will fit on a D3 hub, check the load rating is adequate or they could buckle/crack.
Style is personal choice, but if you can make the 22" rims fit, just be aware that they'll be far more prone to damage against kerbs etc. when used on the road. 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

they are, in fact, OEM LR RR wheels. my wife drives the D3 primarily, so I don't expect it to get punished. there will only be around 5" of sidewall, but my wife is actually very good at not curbing wheels!
I have 305/55/20 (OEM LR wheels) on my D2 and it looks amazing (in my opinion)
admittedly I have OME HD 3" coils and TF coil spacers on the D2, something that's not possible without yanking out my beloved EAS.2010 NAS Disco 4 HSE LUX HD petrol

they appear to be the correct bolt pattern, though I'll likely need to find some hub-rings like I did on the D2 for accurate mating due to different CB2010 NAS Disco 4 HSE LUX HD petrol

That’s what I thought as well.
Have to be honest and say that I’m a fan of small rims and deeper sidewalls on a 4X4, but each to their own. 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

yeah, I'm a dummy for stupid big wheels and tires. the quintessential disco should definitely have pizza cutters like the camel trucks, but you're right... to me my own lol2010 NAS Disco 4 HSE LUX HD petrol
