I dont run mud guards. BUT. For the record I do not live in a location that encounters those types of conditions ever in the winter. Different strokes for different folks. I guess those folks should lift their trucks.

A non-lifted Defender with no wheel liner mod on 33" tires is one of a kind.

I have no idea how your dealer fit them with no mod to the wheel liner. I'd love to see pics of the well liners. I wonder did they crack out the heat gun and work some magic. My curiosity is killing me.
275/55 32" is OEM and fits with no changes.
265/60 32.6" fit but only just. Nothing to spare. Zero Nada Zip
275/60 33" would rub a lot on mine. Would not be drivable.

Ok. I’m new to the forums and just posting my experience. Heres pictures. The first two re of the rear and the second two are of the front full lock with a bungie cord holding the wheel. Its certainly tight but I dont think land Rover would have installed them if they didnt fit. They seem to drive just fine.

The want supersedes basic logic. Good luck.

They are all access height accept the last one. I had to raise it up a little just to get the picture.

That's really tight but they look good! Cool tires. I can't wait to hear how they wear and do over time. Keep us posted!

Mine are on.
no rubbing at normal height. There is a plastic piece on the right mudflap that sticks out a bit. I need to trim it. It’s ziptied for now, will likely only rub at near full lock and suspension pushed in.

will take some pics tomorrow.

as others have said, it’s tight. Prolly can drive straight in access height. But I never have it in that mode .

drove home in and out of the driveway and to pick up the kids at school. No rubbing at all

My trusted tire guy said that tire sizes are approximate. He said that different brand tires with the same size stamped on the sidewall will be slightly different sizes. Even same size tires within a brand can vary slightly in size due to different tread depths and patterns. So maybe the 275/60 Falken is really 32.7" or 32.8".

I'm running LT265/60R20 Wildpeaks on LR4 20" wheels on my 110. Zero rubbing. I've been happy with the tires, but I just had them rotated after the first 5,000 miles and they are significantly louder than before. Hopefully they will quiet down as the tread evens out.
