just to throw a spanner in the works...............

if its a factory 18" shod pajero, then 15' rims wont fit, they foul on the calipers.

Theres a reason the dickheads at mitsubishi put 18" rims on the wagon,

but gotta agree with wacko here, sell the 18s to boy ricers, they look cool on mini trucks and get yourself a set of 16"x8" white spokes and an appropriate tyre

They do if you get the right offset skid. I ran 15's on my old paj and so does wacko. Never had any problems with swapping 15" rims off my or dads safari onto pajeros.

Have you looked under your vehicle to work out what to do? I doubt it becasue it is so simple. Especially with pictures in my thread and on that trade me site.

To do the BJ flip you need 6 x 10mm 25mm long bolts + a 19? socket, needle nose pliers and a big hammer, 10mm drill bit.

Pliers for the split pin
Socket for the bolt
Hammer to bash the BJ out opf upper wishbone arm
Undo 3 bolts holding BJ into top arm.
Drill all holes out to 10mm
Bolt BJ onto underside of arm with 10mm bolts
Reassamble - done.
Marvel at how far out of whack your wheel alignment now is.
Get wheel alignment done including camber and fit free wheeling hubs.

The Trade me kit shows a spacer as well which puts the wheel alignment even further out.
