Tire, wheel and fitment figures are the maker’s. “Tall” is worked out from the size code (dashed); a real tire measures a little differently. —: not in the documents we hold yet.

What the next sizes up change

From each stock size, the common larger sizes on the same wheel: how much taller, how far the axles rise, what the speedometer shows and how the axle ratio behaves. Whether one fits your Pajero depends on lift, wheel offset and trim; these figures don’t say.

Estimate ±Worked out from the nominal sizes; the small line is the range for real tires within 1.5% of nominal.

Assumption, not data

Heights come from the size code. A real tire of a size measures within about 1.5% of it, depending on brand, tread, wheel width and pressure, so each figure carries that range. The axles rise by half the change in height; the body only rises with a lift.

Questions people ask

How far off is the 2015 Pajero’s speedometer with bigger tires?

Set for the stock 265/60R18, with 265/70R18s it reads about 6.4% low: 64.1 mph at an indicated 60 (63.1 to 65.1, by brand) and with 35x12.50R18s it reads about 12.8% low: 68.8 mph at an indicated 60 (67.8 to 69.8, by brand). Worked out from the nominal sizes.

What size wheels does the 2015 Pajero have?

18 x 7.5 on every configuration we list, per Mitsubishi’s documents.

How much taller is a 265/70R18 than the 2015 Pajero’s stock 265/60R18?

About 2.1 in (1.6 to 2.6 in, by brand), so the axles sit about 1.0 in higher; the body only rises with a lift. Worked out from the nominal sizes; whether it fits is a separate question.
