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? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use the following website to determine if you are changing more than 2%: https://tiresize.com/tyre-size-calculator/ 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. 2 2 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

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? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederic Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 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. 2 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Srikumar Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 @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. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
