I have Rubbing issue on my left wheel, I was thinking of trimming the bumper.  Is that will help?

Which size tires you have?

Check during installation if there is any running while steering completely left or right. On Vanessa her Pajero we have put a 2inch spacer to have slightly wider center of gravity.

@FredericIncreasing overall tyre diameter by more than 2% of the stock ones need speedometer and odometer calibration to be done? What else to be considered?

You can use the following website to determine if you are changing more than 2%:

As you can see in below example, the overall diameter in this case remains the same:

 

So you can input the data of the tyres you have now, and see how much difference you'd get by changing rim and/or tyre type.

As in the attached file it goes beyond 2%. As you suggested already will fix wheel spacers. Some sites says already there might be 2-5% variation on speedometer and odometer from OEM. So if we add more to it, calibration of these are absolutely necessary or can manage with out that?

I don’t think a 265/65/18 will fit without wheel spacers and might rub against the inner fenders. You’ll need to test it. @Vanessa8580 has Yokohama 265/60/18 and these fit fine.

Recalibration of odometer and speedometer: I don’t really see the benefit or need of doing that.

@Lakshmi Narasimhan if you are looking to install bigger profile tyres, I would suggest to change the rims to 17 inch and go for 265/65/R17. This will not cause rubbing issues and give a better footprint on the sand.

Else you can go the spacer route as Fred suggested, but before doing check if it affects the warranty.

I have got 2” lift and upgraded to 265/65R17 by changing RIMs, even though its not touching theres barely 1-2 mm gap. While driving also no problem so far, need to check while on off-road if its ok or need to trim the bumper.

Thank you all for your suggestions.

I guess it should work perfectly, as I got a 2 inch lift as well with 265/70/R17 ATS tire and it's working fine so far... before the lift I had issue with the increased tire size as it used to hit the fender body during off-road but after the lift it has worked well in the last 3 drives for me.

Looks really good!

Are those Geolandar A/T G015's? If so, what pressure can you safely run them down to? 12?
