Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hi all first post in the Mitsu section,looked around for a while but no luck.Just after some info for a mate of mine, he got a set of tyres off me 31" equivelant i think but in a 16.He got one fitted today to his stock triton rim but it would barely turn and wasn't driveable.The tyre shop said rims werent availale for the trition??can a few people let me know what brand of sunrayser rims they have and what offset suits.I think the front end will be getting wound up a it too and a 2" body lift may happen.What stud pattern are they?same as my hilux?

thanks,matt

Hi Matt

We really need to know which model Triton he has, as the latest model requires a significantly different (and harder to find) rim than the earlier models.

Given the "not available" comment, I would guess it's the latest model, because earlier models will take Patrol rims pretty easily. For the latest model, they are hard to find, but late model Pajero fitments should also work - I think.

I have NFI why a 31" tyre wouldn't fit on his stock rim. Got pics? Was he there to see it, or is there a possibility that the tyre shop was fobbing him off?

hey he lives a hour from me i didnt see it either did he.Apparently it had no steering before it fouled on some steering component??i have 98 in the heading as the year model?any other info i need or differences in that model???thanks for your help so if he went a patrol offset 16" rim he should solve that fouling problem and a body lift should help with any others??Its a single cab diesel ,im sure ive seen them in town here with bigger slightly wheels before

Sorry Matt - not paying attention.

A '98 Triton should accept 31" tyres - I'm not sure what the problem is.

Pics of the rims would help. And precise tyre size - you say it's 31" on 16" rim? Is the tyre 265/70R16? It's a factory 16" rim?

yeh factory white 16" rims real skinny ones i dont have a pic sorry.i got the tyres and never used them but 265/70/16 sounds like they are the ones.If he got some new 6 stud patrol/cruiser/lux rims with say a patrol offset could it be a goer??thanks

not his but same rims
