Made the jump to 33x12.50 on the LR3

Well over the past few weeks I’ve slowly been making some changes did the headlight clearing of the Amber lenses it wasn’t too bad it took me about 2 hours and I made the switch to 33x12.50’s with a 18x9 wheel with a 35mm offset. And a 1.25 Bora Spacer in the rear. To go with spacers on the front there will be more cutting as for now I’m digging the stance and will adjust as time continues. There’s been some cutting to the fender trim but it hasn’t been that much work. I did relocate the coolant lines and remove the shark fin protecting the lines. Here’s a few pics

lol, i gotta see full articulation and full lock turns under articulation with that nutty wide tire plus totally cray offset.
ZERO chance it actually clears and is 100% usable off road ;)

Ok so you're cutting. I drew a line on my plastic arches to where I would like to trim them but i want the finished product to look tight, not jeep toy style if you know what I mean. Let's see some details, those shots aren't posting properly on my screen so far....

FYI, I run the km2 285/70x18 which is section 11.5x33.7 so taller but narrower so I know exactly where your issues will be and tjhat's too wide for full stuffing them even if the fender arches are gone, well if totally gone, maybe that would work LOL ;)

You'd be rubbing the slider though regardless due to the wide offset plus crazy spacers - spacers on wheels only make all of the rub points worse except for getting away from the front UCA

What app is everyone using to post photos. I’ve been using Photobucket for 15 years maybe it’s time to update
yeah this stinks. as you may have seen there are two ways to do the photos here. web sourced or direct upload. until the upload was an option, i never showed photos. maybe if you used the web source thing i can't see it because i don't have an account with that or some setting on my side is preventing it. i do the upload from computer/phone for all mine and i have never heard someone say they couldn't see them.
i'll post just a couple of my 34" bfg km2 because it's relevant to your thread but also as a photo test for people to see.

Ahhhh.... I see. I will get some more pics up this evening. I’m debating on rolling the fenders or cutting them. Currently it’s not on a trail. Just did a 6 hour drive with 33’s and it wasn’t bad except for my gas. I’m getting 11.5- 12.0 mpg on the highway at 70-75mph
