Steel Rims Pajero MY17

[Justgoodnews]

Good evening to all of you,

I am new here and thankful for all your advice and knowledge.
I am looking for steel rims for my MY17 Pajero (in Perth) and was wondering if I can get some ideas here.
- What size would people recommend?
- Any recommendations for a good dealer in Perth or manufacturer?

I went to Ian Difffen in Morley today and the nice and honest guy (Frank) said, that he would recommend to keep the 18in Alloy rims, because the steel rims do not fit as good as the 18in. He also said that most companies can’t satisfy the demand (Dynamic for example).

Thanks so much for your ideas and help!

Try your local dealers, some do wheel swaps and have a few sets of steelies laying around

What are you trying to achieve? Looks, inroad performance, or off-road performance?

On road - leave the factory 18” rims. They are strong, good quality, and have the correct fit.

Off road - get a set of second hand Mitsubishi Pajero 17” rims (steel or alloy). They are strong, good quality, slightly higher profit for and have the correct fit.

Looks - personal preference but aftermarket will not be hub centric, will be more expensive and may not have a legal offset.

MY17 Tyres

For on my MY17 NX Paj, I have a set (5) of these:
PDW 17 X 8 "Outback" 6/139.7 40P

These have Cooper ST Maxx tyres in 256/65R17 fitted which are only fitted when actually 4WDing.

Generally (normal) usage I stick with highway pattern tyres on the standard alloy rims.

These rims have the larger hub centre and use a hard plastic spacer to position the rim. Have had no issues.

As far as I'm aware, the only steel rims which will fit without a spacer are the factory MM rims, due to the offset required.

I run a set with off road (BFG) tryres on MM steels when going off road or long distance touring. Otherwise, i stick to the stock 18" alloy rims with normal road tyres for around the city.
