HI, To get wheels with that offset to fit on a Pajero you will need to lift it higher!

As the further out they stick, the further 'back' they come when turning and this is where they rub, at the rear of the front wheel. I have tried Land Cruiser ones on mine and no go. Would prob fit with an extra 50mm body lift, 3.5 (mine) & 2.8 ones came with factory 30mm body lift to clear bigger transmisssion

They fit on Patrol wheels which are pretty similar to Mitsubishi.

these are the 33'' well 255/85/16 on my mates pajero (no flares) at 20p

torsion bars wound up, most of the way, had a bit left still, they didnt rub at all offroad, but obviousy the flare change a bit dont they?

lined up with our truck, id need 40mm to get them looking good, therefor 20neg would be the go (correct me if im wrong)

edit that: these are 7.5s were as id be after a 8'' so theres another quarter of an inch, so 10neg offsett

i use crusier wheels. mainly to clear the brakes on mine, buy they also sit out quite wide. i had to massage the rear of the wheel arch witha hammer so i could turn with out scrubing. BUT even if you do this and get them to fit, then you have other problems, well mainly one. the idler arm for the steering. they flog out very quickly and are about a hundy or so. you could be replacing them as often as every warrent.

your mates looks quite cool..
