Seems like it’s a ceremony day tomorrow. The entire convoy is white minus crew and support!

@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?

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!

@Gaurav you made my day! This is my new favorite pic. I am already working on the White Rhino car sticker

Thanks for sharing @GauravSoni. No, you are right. The OEM of Pajero is either 265/60/18 or 265/65/17. I am planning on getting the 265/70/17. 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!

Thanks @GauravSoni! The only thing i am going outside the book a bit is the wheel height as I plan on going for 265 / 70 / 17. The OEM of Pajero is 65 and not 70. With the lift that should not be an issue. Did you have any vibration or stability issues? haha! Yes, i prefer for the pajero to look beefed up a bit instead of a normal civilian. I plan on calling it The White Rhino once i am done with the mods I plan on doing. Maybe it will sway you back towards Pajero one more time haha!
