GauravSoni Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 @Mike M. no stability issues or vibrations that I have experienced till now… on road the body roll on corners is reduced… but still have to be careful on short radius turns above 80.. Yes, I wrote 60 instead of 65. Thanks for highlighting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that wont impact much cause of the lift i am getting. Based on @Frederic's recommendation i am guessing both offset options of +20 and Zero are good options and should not be too far from OEM specs. I guess it will depend on the looks in the Tyre shop and naturally the availability of stock. Thanks again guys for all the help!

Rob S Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) Hi Mike, See below link to a clever calculator that shows offset changes etc related to your car https://www.tyresizecalculator.com/charts/rim-width-range-and-measuring-rim-width-for-tire-size I did a fair bit of research (although for Toyota Prado). below is the link to the article, some of which might be of help for you Regarding to wheels, Almost all offroad versions from KMC / Rhino / Method appeared to come in Zero offset (again, when enquiring for Prado. Not sure if this is same for Pajero) Hope this helps rather than hinders your decisions haha! PS. I am 100% sure that all cars look better with a wider track haha!!

Mike M. Posted May 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Thanks @Rob S for taking the time to share this content. As you have mentioned in your previous post for Prado, it’s not that straightforward as there are different opinions. I am trying to triangulate information from multiple sources and will decide based on that. As of now, I am between 265/70/17 or 275/65/17. Still a lot of reading needs to be done Thanks again, much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M. Posted May 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 @Warren Flay, why did your gearing ratio change if you have the OEM size of 65 R17? reason why I’m asking is now i am between 2 options only 1- 265/70/R17 - I believe this setup will impact my gearing ratio for the taller tyre 2- 275/65/17 this should not impact much the Speedo nor the gearing as it’s OEM specs. what do you think?

I have standard 18in rims. I went to 65 series tyres to gain ground clearance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
