Hi everyone... first time posting so be gentle.
I recently bought a MY15 NX Pajero which so far I am very happy with. I am looking to put some new tyres on it and have the opportunity to get a good deal on some Cooper S/T Maxx tyres - however they are 275/65R18 and my NX has not yet had any suspension upgrades or lifted at all. Has anyone fitted this size of tyre to a standard NX/NW and is it possible without the tyres rubbing etc?
Tyre shops cannot answer confidently, but from my own calculations the tyres should be an extra 20mm radius (40mm diameter) and from my measurements taken last night it looks like I have 30mm of clearance on the front guard at full lock - so in theory I should have 10mm to spare... but just wondering whether anyone has tried it and could confirm?
Also worth noting the tyres are at about 50% tread, so this presumably will make them more likely to fit.
Cheers.
