Default Anyone put 33 on the 18inch rims?

I am starting the process of getting a list together of the changes that I will be doing when my Defender arrives. I have the P300 and wanted to 33 and wanted to see if anyone has done it yet. I really wanted to know if I need to raise the suspension up or if I can run it stock.

33" tires on 18" rims vs 20" rims will be same height. Others have confirmed 33 won't work without a lift.

It's going to be the same for 90 as it is for the 110.
Our 1.5 inch lift will allow you to fit 33" inch tires and maintain ride quality.
Your are most likely looking at a 275-70-18 which is 33.2

@Johnson Rods any issue with rubbing given the almost 1" wider tire for the 275-70-18 (versus stock 255-70-18)? I know the 33" fits from a circumference perspective, but the width concerns me.

Just stay at the 265/70/18. 32,6" no lift rods, no rubbing.

I ended up putting on 275/60R18. No rub but I don't think you can go any wider. I also put them on OEM rims and the tire store said that makes a big difference on wider tires working.

I like the idea of wider, but am mainly concerned with height. I'd like to go towards 33". Seems like the 265/70/18 may be the way to go assuming I can do that with stock wheels.

I bought 2022 X Dynamic SE with 22 rims and tires. I want to do some off roading but nothing crazy. What should i do, buy 22 inch AT tires or go with 20 inch rims with AT tires. My problem is that i will be stuck with 22 inch rims if i go with new 2o inch setup. Not sure if I could sell my 22 rimes and tires.
