They'll go on but they will definitely rub on your flares under any flex, or turning front wheels.

Sorry guys but I do not completly agree. Everyone forgets the most import part when it comes to tyre debates, Offset. They will fit and will not scrub if the correct offset rims are with the combination. If going on standard GQ offset rims (0mm) they will scrub at the rear under compression and may touch the radius arm at the front at full lock (mine did). If a larger offset (again depending on rim width - 24mm on an 8 inch rim or -13mm on a 7 inch rim) then they should not scrub.

Just my 2c worth

I got new rims when I got the coopers and they are 15x8inch dynamica (sunrasia). Not sure what offset to be honest I didn't ask! They fit fine.

I also have a 2in lift with 33" mickey t atz's on 15x8 rims.... Not sure of offset. When fitted they rubbed on the front mud flaps mounting bracket, so took the flaps off until I find something better. They also rub very slightly on the standard rear flares under flex but rub on nothing else. Time to fit some bunnings flares

And I got 33" on 15x8's also no idea on the offset with a 4" lift and they scrub on articulation on the rears (no swaybars tho)

Gets no better as you go higher - I got a 5" lift with 33"x12.5" bighorns on 15" rims with -22 offset and they still rub the upper inside of the rear arch .. could always extend the bumpstop I guess ...

Nahhhh ... lmao
