Pajero 2008 v6 3.8 exceed correct wheel rim offset

I am wanting to buy a set of black spoked rims and tyres for my Pajero however cannot seem to find what the correct offset is for my wagon. Some articles state -44 offset and some say +44/The mitis site says 44 but does not say if it should be + or - offset. Am wanting to fit a set of A/T's or Muds to replace some 20" mags with fake beadlockers. Can anyone advise what the correct offset should be please? After a lot of reading it appears to be +44 to +46 offset ? Has anyone fitted some to this model pajero and what size tyres did you go for? cheers,Paul.

Measure your current Mags.
Half rim width minus the measurement from matting surface to rear of rim will give you your current offset .
Diameter of the rim is irrelevant it’s the width that matters .
Once you know your current offset you can decide weather you want the rims to stick out further (neg offset )
Personally I would stick with a 15x8 or 16x8 rim up to a 33” tyre. But some people prefer 10”

Usually if positive/negative isn't clearly stated it will be positive, so factory will be 44P, though faily sure some were 38P. A 30 or even a 20 mm positive will look better, have a browse through the Paj forum I posted above.

Factory Gen 4 Pajero is +46. Tritons and Sports are +38, and mostly dont fit Pajero's.
I have +35 and they sit flush with the guards on a 9 inch rim and 285 width tyres.
Dynamic do a 17 in steel wheel that fit a Pajero, not many 17's do due to the brakes.
