What rims for 33s on my 3.5 NJ

Guys,
what rims do you use for your 33s, my local tyre bloke reckons that there's no 8" navara (pajero) offset rims - only 7"
I don't mind 15 or 16"
Help
PS I'll be fitting BFG Muddies at 33" by 12.5"

Use Patrol offset - I was told it's only 10mm difference, so widens the track 20mm, and the extra offset should help restore the scrub radius with 33" tyres. Mine are ROH Trak 2.
Good luck,
Scott

And if they are BFG muddies then they will be 15's if you want 33 x 12.5.
Why not fit the BFG 33 x 10.5's and use the factory rims?

No. Mine are zero offset. -22 sounds more like 'Cruiser offset.

Ado,
I am pretty certain that you will need 16's as the 15" rims hit the front calipers as the 3.5L had larger front brakes.
That is from my own experience anyhow.

And then buy 285/75/16 BFGs.

Hi Grant
Good to see you're still hanging around - got another
real 4by yet?
I think the larger brakes were only on GLS models - for some reason, the lower spec models came with the smaller brakes.
Cheers,
Scott

Guys
Thanks for the responses, a few options there
i'll probably have to go 16s as I have to buy new rims anyway as I haven't
seen 33 by 10.5 in the BFG muddies - I'll check again anyway
What offset 16s do you use? is it still Navara offset?

33 x 10.5 is readily available over here. 16 inch rims are quite a lot dearer than 15's to buy as well. (In my experience)
They fit on std Pajero rims and on a 3.5 like yours they will fit with NO rubbing at all.
