Help! Wheel fitment

[saif arif]

Hi!

So after 10 years of my Pajero ownership I finally mustered the budget and courage to buy and install aftermarket wheels. Unfortunately, my Pajero had other plans.

I have a 2” lift (Ironman), everything else is stock.

Plan was to install 17” wheels, 0 offset with 265/70/17 tyres. This fit rubbed against the bumpers. We swapped for +25 offset wheels and 265/65/17 tyres however, the concavity of the wheels pushed against the front brake calipers. Upon research turns out this model has bigger brake calipers and is a known issue. 

The wheel shop tried installing 5mm spacers up front but that didn’t fit either. Not sure whether they were generic or otherwise.

The wheels were RRW and models tried - RR7-H and RR7-S

I really want to complete my build and happy to explore other brands (Method etc.).

I would be grateful to hear from you guys on your experience and get your guidance on how to complete this project.

Hi. I got the method 706 on my Pajero.

If you google the official supplier of method wheels in Dubai, then go to their shop they will show you the exact wheels which are known to fit Pajero on the correct offsets.

@Andrew John Melvill has some nice aftermarket wheels on his Pajero, think they were lenso brand but I'm not 100% on that.... 😅

Seems very similar to my experience. In my case the aftermarket rims being wider 7.5 inches vs 9 inches was the main issue and then I went berserk!😁
