Comments on: My Pajero http://www.pajero.org.uk Living with a Mitsubishi Pajero Sun, 05 Feb 2012 19:32:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: David http://www.pajero.org.uk/my-pajero/comment-page-1/#comment-14310 David Tue, 27 Dec 2011 20:12:30 +0000 http://www.pajero.org.uk/my-pajero/#comment-14310 As Tim says you need a lift to fit 33x12.50s but I fitted 33x10.50s to my 1993 SWB without a lift - just wound the torsion bars up to max and they tucked into the arches without rubbing, although it was pretty close. The offset of the wheels would have to be just right - mine were off a later model Shogun/Pajero so dunno if they were any different to standard. Some folk reckon that winding the torsion bars to max can have a detrimental effect, and the theory would suggest so but I never found any problems in practice and I used mine pretty vigorously off-road (but gently on road). cheers David As Tim says you need a lift to fit 33×12.50s but I fitted 33×10.50s to my 1993 SWB without a lift – just wound the torsion bars up to max and they tucked into the arches without rubbing, although it was pretty close.

So to make things easier, if you see a Paj you like, go and have a look and you then need to have a look in the back wheel arch. If it's been lifted you'll be able to see a gap between the chassis and the body above it. That's the only real way to tell for sure.

I imagine most sellers prob will not know, unless they have a real interest in their 4x4 etc. Is there any definate way to tell - i.e set dimension from ground to underside of fender moulding etc? Thanks anyways for the info Tim How do you tell if the winter pack is fitted?

First you need a lift of some kind. If you can find a Pajero with the Winter Pack fitted, these will often have a factory fitted inch and a half body lift like mine, which is enough. Otherwise you'll need to lift it using a spacer kit - usually 2 inch. To get around the MOT all you need to do is make sure the wheels you use have an offset that doesn't make them stick out too much when they have the tyres on. I've never been one for checking MPG so I couldn't honestly say. They definitely reduce your speed a little bit though. Hi Pat. First you need a lift of some kind.

Could you please confirm the process required to fit the 33x12.5 tyres to ensure they comply with MOT and do not rub on arches/effect steering etc. Have you noticed a marked reduction in MPG with these tyres? PS your Paj looks the business - one of the nicest combo of colour and mods ive seen on the net. Tim – I’m presently in the process of sourcing a 2.8 SWB 1994 Pajero.

Fit on the door fine, it's just getting the big bugger up there that's the challenge! Yeah, all 5 tyres are the same – 33s.
