Spare tyre and wheel rim for Pajero NP

Thanks Rosscoe. I'll do so immediately.

Thanks Mark. If I have understood our local Mitsubishi dealer correctly the tyre for the GLX is narrower than those for the GLS. We are reluctant to put money into a trye and rim that won't be interchengealbe with the existing ones. Even the narrower steel rim is $340!!

We still love our Pajero though. This is our second trip. Lat year we were away for 6 weeks and spent about 2 weeks in the Centre - just loved it.

Thanks GT.The last time I checked with ROH they didn't have one with a 46 mm offset. Nevertheless I could try again.

Thanks for your offer Time Waster. We are in NSW and won't be near Adelaide. We're also not sure if the 96 wheels will fit. It seems that Mitsubishi change the specs every whipstich. Thanks though for kind offer.

Hi Steve

Thanks for that. I contacted Mitsubishi today and found out that I should have been quoted $440, not $719. I informed our local supplier who admitted he had made a mistake - genuine I believe. Today we have tried wreckers but have finally given up and will pay $440.

We are two near retirement age women who live by the motto - 'too old never', except perhaps when it comes to changing tyres on wheels - hence the $440 purchase.

Thanks to all for their assistance. I suppose ROH or one of those companies will eventually make a rim that matches the vehicle.

Dear Pesty,

I am concerned about your statement yesterday that the R&R Beadbreaker doesn't fit Pajero mags because the hole is too small. I have a Beadbreaker and a Pajero with mags. I've never actually taken a tyre off one of its wheels (although have done so on other rims) but in a "dry run" everything seemed to fit.

Could you expand on what you found to be the problem?

Thanks from an old South Australian.

Hi mark
Not trying to belittle the beadbreaker as i love mine, but father in law has 6 month old paj and we had need to remove a tyre in the flinders, crappy geolander rubbish that they come out with, and the hole in the centre is only about 40 mm and cant be any bigger as it is the centre point that rests on the inner hub, just the way its designed, and the off set is all at the top so the beadbreaker not only doesnt fit in the hole, the angles are all wrong because offset is so far out.
Would suggest you do dummy run to see how you go with your mags.
The only way to get it to work would be to make adaptor that actually fits into one of the outer slots in the rim.
Not sure if different models have different rims, that may be different, but this is our experience, and because of the odd offset, 42mm neg, there are no other options available other than after market mags or originals.
We had access to a tyrepliers and that worked ok.
Hope this helps, and glad you still remember SA !!

Thanks Pesty,

Regards
Mark
