Thewhiterover do you think 34s will fit with a 2 inch lift? If that's the case I will probably bump up to that same size with my 3 inch lift. I have the 33s ordered but the guy is waiting on the wheels that will take a while. Do you know your wheel size and offset/backspace?

Maybe very skinny ones, but not wide ones like you'll have on your 10-11" wide wheel.

Not positive if it makes a difference. On my 10" wheels that are on order I went with a -12 offset. So they will stick out much more than the factory wheels which have a +40 offset.

That does make a difference. It will likely interfere with your front bumper rather than your radius arms.

The 2006-2009 Range Rover Sport Wheel
Interchange Number: 72196
Manufacturer Part Number is: RRC500681XXX
20x9.5" - 5x120 Bolt Pattern - 53mm Offset (Same offset as the Hurricanes)

I'm looking to get as much sidewall as possible, without interfering with the articulation or turning radius. I'm not sure if a 275/65R20 will rub or not.
I'm not proceeding with any of this until I install the TF +2" Springs/Shocks and purchase a 5th wheel for my spare.

Cutting the front bumper doesn't bother me. I just switch to the 275/65r20. Is that a positive or negative offset whiterover

I have 285/75R16 and about 3 and half inches of lift and I have no problems with the tires rubbing even when articulating. Though my tire selection was greatly reduced due to availability, however if I could, I would have bought something a bit narrower.

Keep the 33's. Don't go bigger, any bigger your trimming sheet metal not the bumper and you'll be rubbing a lot on the radius arms at full lock. Since you have super wide wheels using wheel spacers to correct this would just make your truck look terrible, the wheel would stick out a god awful amount. You'd also get 8 miles to the gallon on the freeway.

Without a doubt positive offset.
You can tell just looking at it, the hubs stick out so far on these trucks Discovery wheels with a 0 offset would protrude out quite a ways.
Discovery wheels with a -53mm offset wouldn't fit the car wash.

This diagram made it fairly simple for me to understand.
