Pajero & Shogun rims will fit in regards to the stud pattern etc... (as will Nissan, Toyota & Isuzu 4x4) but it's the Delica's narrow body that plays havoc with fitting the wide offset wheels found on most of these vehicles!!

For a straight fit, you'll need to fit something like the alloys fitted to the earlier Shoguns. Tyres are limited to 30-9.5x15 or 235/75/15 if you don't want to start messing with trimming inner arches or removing the front steps (or raising the suspension 4 inches!!)

31-10.5x15 or 265/70/15 will go with some wheelarch work, but need the torsion bars cranking up and will probably stick out beyond the bodywork (depending on the offset!)

I've got 3 sets of spare wheels in the garage, all from Pajero's, all amazing looking, all too big to go on until I get some wider arches and lift the suspension

The best place to buy (that I've found) is good ol' E- Bay!! Keep an eye on a few auctions for a bit, and you see the sort of price they go for. Make sure you get ones with as good tyres as you can, this will save you a LOT of money in the long run - and ALWAYS check the postage costs (some won't post, and might be a 250 mile drive away!!)

Other than that, ring around import dealers in your area and see if they have any spare sets kicking around (you'll be quite amazed at what they do have spare!!)

Hope this is of some help?

Regards,

Bruce.
