Hello! I have a Mitsubishi Pajero Gen1 1990 2.5 Turbo Diesel Manual 450,000 km. 

I currently have tires sized: 265 70 15.

I would like to know if I can put other sized tires on my car, what are the positives/negatives of having larger tires and how do I know what type of rims I need to buy? Also I have diff. Lockers on my front wheels, does that affect which rims I need to buy? And how do I know the measurement of the bolt distance of the rims?

 

thank you!

For bolt pattern there are formulas online to calculate it drp on how many lugs you have. You need to check wheel backspaceing and offset to ensure you buy wheels that are going clear the wheel openings, brakes and suspension components. Larger tires can affect gas mileage, steering geometry and handling.
