33" tyres, or 35" tyres

Post by Wadezz »

hey all,

Im getting new tyres for my pajero, its a 1989 3L v6 NF.

I called about 10 places today looking for some 33" st copers and cheapest i could get for the copers is 295ea fitted, but i also found some 35" mud terrian ones and he said he will do me a deal and give them to me for $260 which is great but will they fit on.

My cars going in next tuesday and getting a 2" lift kit, and i also looked at the GT Radials and got priced 275ea so are they a good tyre for that price.

Im thinking the 35" are a little bit over board but if they will fit nicly 260 bucks ea isnt bad going the retail at 309ea so any suggestions guys.

Thank you Wade

thx m8,

yeh i relise that, but i need a good pair of shoes:P yeh i recon 33" to i think 35" over the top coper are a very good tyre and for 295 ea can't really go wronge and they will last me along time and with the 2" lift kit they sould fit easy ay?? like even when i go 4wdin they won't rub or anything?

Thanks Wade

I have a 2" body lift & 2" suspension lift and 33s only just clear - they actually scrub inside the rear wheel well at max articulation.

I think the 35s would be a world of pain for you - I would advise against it.

33s - you need 2" suspension lift + 2" body lift (some have no body lift)
35s - you will need the above, plus reduction gears, and a change of diff ratios otherwise those steep descents will get crazy.

Rim are std 0-offset 7" Mitsu.

No rubbing except from bumper ends, which needed ±1" trimming.

mate i used to run 33"s with a 2" lift, if you could even call iut that, was more like 1.5" at the most and that was it on my shorty. Ran 33" JT2s for a while, they measure the same as most 35"s, they measure 34.6" tall, never rubbed anywehre. 3.0L V6 with 4.625 centres.

Now running 35" Treps with the new paj, 3.0L V6 is a bit slow, but thts ostly to the 5.29 centres, the 3.0L pushes them okay.

What rims did you run the JT2s? and what width were they. I was running 34.6 x 11.5 JT2s and they would scrub on the rear of the front guards when turning. This is on a NL with a ~2ish inch lift and the factory bodylift.

Post by klrevo »

they were 15x8 cruiser offset, still running the same rims, and did so with the 33" nankang mustars as well as the JT2s and now the trepadors.

Tyres were 33x11.5x15 JT2 measuring 34.6" tall by over 12" wide, then Nankang Mudstars 33x12.5x15 and now Maxxis Trepadors 35x12.5x15.

The mudstars or JT2s never rubbed on full flex in the shorty, and the JT2s were about the same size as the Treps are now, reps a little bit bigger.

just a 2" suspension lift, wound up front, but then dropped again 10mm, and then pedders HD LWB springs in the back of the shorty.

theres pics around of it on the JT2s, but it never rubbed.

Ahhh if Simex's website is current and your wheels are the same version then they might have been a little smaller than the 34's but wider. Check out this site

I am running my JT2s on the same rims.... maybe I am forgetting something here.

EDIT: My JT2s are marked on the tyre as 34.6x11.5xR15

Use a photo-hosting site like photobucket, then paste the "IMG" link into your post. Just re-size your photos to make them smaller - about 800x600 is good for most screens.
