what have people done to make rims fit over the front brake calipers? I have been given a set of 17x7.5 alloy rims off a 2013 GLXR Triton but they scrape on the caliper. What are my options for getting these to fit? I have a 2008 NS Pajero.

Swap them with some 17x7" from ML Triton. Easier said than done unfortunately.
I bought some of 4 17x7.5" from MN thinking they would fit. Nup.
Luckily my Dad had an ML with 17x7" that did fit.
Had to buy a second set of 4 17x7.5" to swap 5 with Dad, but that gave me 3 wheels for camper trailer.PCOV Member 1107.

I think there may be more than one type of 17" on the ML Tritons - only the 6 spoke with the "tear drop" shape on 3 spokes near the centre fit. These were on the later GLX-R ML dual cabs. Always test fit to front of Paj before buying.Originally posted by pharb View Post
Also, any 17" from Pajeros should fit, including the 17" from the NP, etc.Pajero NX MY21 GLSComment

Unfortunately they won't fit without illegal & potentially dangerous modifications - best to move them on.Originally posted by Shogun 2000 View PostPajero NX MY21 GLSComment
