Default 3 inch terrafirma lift ordered tire size?

Just ordered terrafirma 3 inch lift for 2001 disco 2. Also have on order 33/10.9r20 sorry I like 20's. With the XD Monster black Matt. I have to wait 3 to 5 weeks why the wheels are made because I wanted the correct offset/backspace and would love a bigger tire if it will fit "I don't mind trimming". I will be doing little to mainly no off road. Please help on size tire. Time is of the essence. I don't want to get a tire because one person at L8 told me that was the biggest.

Get whatever tire size you want... honestly. Your truck isn't going anywhere but to the grocery stores. The guys at lucky 8 thought you might actually use your disco for what is was built for, that's why they said not to run those tires, because you'd break something if you did actually use it, but since your not... well, you get the point. 33's will fit on a disco with a 3" lift, they'll only rub during articulation, you might have to trim your front bumper a little, but that's it.

Confused.. you said you have 33/10.9r20 on order, which is a tire/wheel size mix.

Like Dane said, there are people out there running 33s without crazy lift and not wheeling.

This is why there are thousands of post on lift and tire sizes. If you don't know the answer to my question shut the he'll up. I said I wasn't going to be off roading. So why rub that in my face. Sorry Dane that you are a bad A$$ disco rider and everyone else is beneath you. I like big tires and big wheel a fat a$$ and some big ti++ies. All I wanted to know was if I could go bigger than a 33 inch tire by 11 on a 20 inch wheel. I hope you are able to read this and understand. And if you are still having problems I'll say it again I will not be doing any serious off road riding like the master rover rider Dane.

Correct it is a tire wheel size mix. Because I have the tires and wheels ordered from the same person. Because the wheels are going good to take him a little longer because he is having them drilled from blanks to get the correct offset so I'm not running spacers. With this time I thought I might see if anyone new if a bigger that 33x10.9r20 I say it inches because most people myself included can't figure out what a 275/60r20 without a tire size calculator.

lol, chill out, learn to take a joke. I told you yes, you can fit 33's on your truck, I think I've said it in 3 various threads... that's why there's 1,000 different threads, because they all ask the same question, what tires size to run, and they almost all result in the same tire size.

I have TF 3" lift and the 285/75r16's take up all the space front to rear in the wheel well, plenty of vertical space though. a few inches of inner well guard plastic trimming was removed and required on the front to allow for turning, will still grab once in awhile if turning sharply over a curb sized rut, pothole, rock etc. since the rears dont turn and have plenty of vertical space still, ive never had issues and no trimming is required there. i disconnected the abs cables for less chance thatd they pop and break and got extended braided lines all the way around.

ps calculator calls that 33" x 11.22" on 16's.

I feel the same way. Check this out.

Here's my 2004 with 20" RRS Wheels and 255/55R20 tires.
I love the look of these wheels, but they provide a very rough ride with this size tire. My plan is to get the TF225 Shocks and the +2" Medium Duty Springs and run 275/65r20's to get more sidewall and a smoother ride. I'm just concerned with articulation and turning.

I don't want to trim my front bumper, and I'm not the type to ignore something that rubs.
