Hi guys,
I bought a 94 NJ GLS a couple of months ago, and have been reading all the posts in the forum to try to get up to speed.
The car has the factory 15x7 alloys with 31x10.5x15 Cooper S/Ts on the front (half worn), and 31x10.5x15 Goodyear H/Ts on the back (almost brand new). From the couple of times I've got the car muddy so far, it seems that the Coopers work quite well, and the HT's on the back are pretty useless when it comes to gripping offroad.
Since the HT's are almost brand new, I'd like to keep them for road driving, which the car does most of the time, and get a couple of second hand rims/ mud or AT tyres to use offroad. This sounds easy enough, but the issue of the correct rim offset is a little confusing. To keep things simple I'm planning to stay with 15x7 rims and 31x10.5x15 tyres.
Can anyone comment on what 15x7 rims have been found suitable for a NJ Pajero?
From reading around, it appears that I either require rims with the "Nevara" offset (which seem pretty rare second hand) or apparently some people have had success with 15x7 rims from a GQ Patrol.
I've seen plenty of 7JJ x 15 sunraysia rims advertised, which appears to match the "7JJ" on the tyre placard, but I assume that "7JJ x 15" rims would also come in different offsets.
Can anyone comment on what successful combinations they have used?
Thanks.
