Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Biggest Tires - What Size Fits On Stock Ride Height?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ส.ค. 2024
- We went to get new tires for the 2018 Outlander Sport and thought, “What’s the biggest All-Terrain tire that would fit on this rig and really fill up the wheel well...?”
After some research on forums, and the very few photos of A/Ts on Outlander Sports... we didn’t come up with a definitive answer.
So we special ordered a set of four Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail tires in 255/55/18 on the stock wheels. They are 6 ply and come with an estimated 68,000 miles wear.
The look of the SUV is significantly more Aggressive and off-road looking.
Previously, I had installed Ralliart Universal mud flaps on the Outlander. Only the front two mud flaps had to be further cut back. After this, the stock inner fenders in the front still slightly rubbed on both the front and back stock fenders, typically only when turning full tilt and especially in reverse.
If this didn’t bother a person, you could get away with just leaving it and stuffing these bigger tires onto the vehicle and only rub once in a while in parking lots.
Instead of cutting a hole and opening up components to salt and snow and debris, I heated the plastic and bent it slightly to accommodate the tires just enough.
There was no more rubbing on the front after this.
The one thing I did find is on higher speeds with a hard bump, the back wheels can slightly graze the upper fender, but not significantly. Keep in mind this is very seldom and haven’t seen any wear marks on the inner fender or the tire after about a month running these tires.
If you’re overly worried, go with one size smaller.
But if you do a little work, you can maximize your tire size. 😁
There was no speedometer difference with these bigger tires, and no significant road noise added. In fact, I think it made it quieter. And smoother. No noticeable acceleration lag. No noticeable fuel economy loss. A bit more ground clearance.
The only thing I did notice was the immediate feeling of the vehicle definitely went from more touchy and sporty- to feeling a little more rugged and meatier. I’d equate it to a running shoe vs a hiking shoe; both are great for whatever you’re using them for. Running shoes are lighter and have more agility, while hiking boots are heavier duty and grip better for the situation.
At the end of the day, it’s up to you.👍🏼
Thank you for watching!🍻

outlanders are so underrated. great video!
Another good wildpeak size that I run on mine is 225/60r18. No rubbing and equal to about 1 inch of extra clearance. I also have the H&R spring lift and 40mm strut spacers now so I kinda wish I went with these size tires instead. Nice to see someone putting vids like this up, not much info for these vehicles out there!
What is the h&r lift?
@@shawnhaley8275 just increased height springs. Anyway don't change the springs, just use a spacer kit 20/30 and 40mm kits are available. The 40mm kits can be poly or solid steel, which is what I have.
Its cheaper to buy a DGR coilover kit and install thay that along with a spacer kit. Tema 4x4 etc
@@DoubtingThomas333 can you elaborate on your set up? i ordered the 40mm spacer and would like to add a coilover when i install. did you have to swap any other parts that didnt line up afer your install?
@@dudewithtitshow did it turn out? Was it easy to install and did you run into issues?
@@Thiccums423 soon after this post I sold the outlander to carvana and returned the spacers. Install of spacers seemed they would've been very easy however and coils would've been unnecessary. I ended up buying a 02 grand Cherokee 4x4 for my camping and hunting vehicle and still have it. There simple isn't much made to gain clearance for the outlanders.
I have 29” 235/70/16 mud terrain tires on my outlander sport. Stock is 27.7” tires at 225/55/18. I also have a 1.5” ADF spacer and H&R springs 1.2” for a total of 2.7” inch lift. No rubbing at all. I’m thinking of going bigger and putting 31” tires.
I just bought a 2018 sport and have been having the exact same issue with the forums thank you 🙏
Thanks A lot , I've been trying to figure out whats the biggest size I could go with. Wanted to order some wider wheels too, but 1 step at a time. 👍
I still have my 2017. Already paid off. Love the mini SUV. I do wanna get bigger tires on it. I use the originals.
Just got a 2021 Outlander Sport today
Congrats, I have a 2018 and I love it. I'm gonna do Chrome delete all around the car.
Awesome video bro. I’ve thinking about doing videos of my outlander sport. Cool tires too🤙🏾
Thanks a lot!
I think you should, I’d like to see more people customizing these!
Can you please let me know what the roof rack info is?? I love the wheels and tires btw, definitely putting them on my to do list lol
For sure, here’s the link!:
MaxxHaul 46" x 36" x 4-1/2" - 150 lb. Capacity - NOT Assembled 70115 Steel Roof Rack www.amazon.com/dp/B073G49NPV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_2SVERF5F1P8JSCNC7W7B

It’s a MaxxHaul brand rack, we did a custom carbon fiber vinyl wrap on it and got the Star Wars decals online.
Where did you get the crossbars I have the non existent roof rails
Those rubber lift spacers work wonders on the back
Running a 215/70r16 on my lancer stock suspension. Gonna be throwing outlander sport struts on it for more clearance, but running the same Falken Wildpeak AT Trails 👍
Awesome!
My tires are 225/55R18 in a 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander and I want put 225/ 60r18 will they fit?
Amazing video. Where did you get the roof rack from?
Have you had any problems with the tires hitting the strut/spring/suspension assembly while off-roading? I ordered BF KO2 255/55/18 from Costco and they wouldn’t install it because they said it was too close and would void the warranty.
Any thoughts on 265/70/16 on Mitsubishi outlander? Please answer me
Think I am gonna use a heat gun and just form my plastic in a bit for clearance
235/60 R18 ‘s with a little rub. They have been on a while, but I haven’t hit the plastic with heat yet. The rub is minimal. Unfortunately, the rub was even more minimal before I put beefier springs in that gave me 1.5” lift. I thought I would get less rub, but those are the dimension factors, I guess. All in all, the space between tire and fender is much better. I was having trouble standing on the tire for roof access before the lift. Now the visuals of that space above the tire is very fitting, plus the ride is much better for the rural areas I mostly drive in and the backroads for trail access. I am considering a lift for Jeep Compass/Patriot (Doge Caliber) to fit to my 🇨🇦 RVR. There might be a slight difference of how the linkages mount to the control arms, but looks like a minor mod, or mine might just be tired enough that I might be able to switch out of the Japanese style control arms for American style and do the lift as is.
anything is better than the stock (nexen) tires the car comes with
Is it possible to put 245 60 R18 on stock height? Or it would be too much?
Hi so i want to buy a 2010 mitsubishi outlander , can i fit 33" tyres on it without a lift kit ? And is it legal in europe ?
I’m in the states so I’m not entirely sure on the legality...
As far as fitment I highly doubt you’ll be able to squeeze 33s without a lift, these are 255/55/18 and seem to be the maximum stock size one can go on this vehicle, which I think equates to around 29” total.

Awesome video! Do you happen to know max All Terrain tire size on stock wheels for the 2018 Outlander GT?
I’m not sure exactly but this is an LE which I would assume has the same chassis, these tires are 255/55/18 on OEM 18 inch wheels.
@@timetested awesome thanks 👍🏼
Change to 16x6.5 +38 wheels from an earlier model outlander, put on 225/70's 👍🏻
Wish we could see the car with the largest tires
I got the same car but where can I get one of those? They look nice!
The mud flaps or the tires?
Tires bro
Half those mudflap screws will be in tires before its over with lol
Have you used spacers to widen your wheels out, if so where did you get these spacers?
No spacers
Why didnt you just remove the mud flap?
We live in the Midwest and didn’t want snow/ice/salt/mud thrown and packed on the rocker panel.
Keeps the risk of rust way down and keeps the vehicle cleaner.
Has anyone run the
255 55 18 on their 2018 Mitsubishi outlander sport?
Did you fit the 255 in your stock rim 18x7.0? If so, any side effects to it being more flexy in corners etc? I'm thinking of doing the tyre to 29' as well but using a different route of 235/60R18.
Yes they were on the stock wheel. They are a bit more like what I’d describe as a hiking boot as opposed to a running shoe; both get the job done for different terrain, but have different feeling and handling. The AT tire isn’t as sharp as the stock tire, but seems to grip better in off road or snow conditions.
Hope that helps.
I just order 235/60r18 for my mothers. I will post photos when I get them on. Also waiting on the 40mm lift spacers.
@@shawnhaley8275 hi mate. How did the 235.60.R18 go? I am thinking of putting this in my 2018 ASX stock rims. Was thinking if it will fit with no dramas. Otherwise might just go for the stock size.
How come you haven’t done anything else with you Outlander
Hi did u lift this one? Most comments is all about lift. The title is stock ride height
This is stock ride height my friend.
These are the biggest tires you can run with stock height.
Did you notice any performance drop does the transmission seem to be able to handle them like factory? I'm just trying to figure out if I would have to regear it.
I was worried about that too, like the sport would be gone!
The best way I could describe it is a running shoe vs a hiking boot.. doesn’t quite have the same agility but can go bounds over what your sport tires can do. Not a huge difference but more confidence in a 4 seasons if that makes sense.
Yeah I'm running stock sized falcon wildpeaks I plan to do a 1.5 inch body lift and go up to this size tire as well. I do a lot of off roading I this little soccer mom car that I grew to love. Theoretically with these tires and the body lift I should be able to get around 11inch of ground clearance with out having to adjust the front drive lines amd only needing to add a camber arm in the back (some go without it but I would rather have it).
It felt different going all terrain even stock size but that was handling wise. So would you say acceleration or gas was drastically reduced. On the stick size a/t acceleration wasnt effected and my mpg dropped only 2-3mpg
@@dakotah1828 I agree on the handling, it’s less sporty for sure but feels more grippy now, like a different vehicle almost now. We like it personally, and great for trails or off roading!
@@dakotah1828 I’m wondering if you could help me find lift kit for OS
Hi nice video the stock tire size on this is 225 55 18 and u said u installed a 255 55 18 on stock wheels did u have any problem or it can be installed just fine?
There was a little bit of rubbing in the front when turning but I heated the plastic and bent it in the video to make it stop and give room
@@timetested so will fit on the stock wheels
Did you have to use any kind of lift kit to be able to fit those tires?
Nope, just what was done in the video
Any issues rubbing when going over speed bumps hitting dips at high speeds or anything like that?
Very rarely going over say a bumpier bridge transition at 75ish mph you may hear the rear touch, but not even rub enough to cause scuffs on the under fender lining.
Otherwise, no. Would buy the same size again.
@@timetested alright cool thanks for the reply
How about with 4 adults in the car?
What's the size of the original tire?
Is the 2021 Mitsubishi outlander sport black edition fuel efficient?
Not too sure, never drove it myself.
Hi, if Seating 4 people does any rubbing at the back in any chance?
That’s a good question... we haven’t had that many, but we loaded a roof rack and had 100 lb dog at the very back and there was no extra rubbing.
@@timetested coz’ I’m planning to get the same tires
Thanks
If the car gets raised 40mm can those tires fit with no rubbing in your oppinion?
I would say so, since it barely rubbed in the front before.
Animal
are the stock Tyres low profile?
Not technically, no.
I just got the 2021 silver with black wheels and all have u thought about exhaust on these?
How is it on a smooth pavement, is it noisy?
Not really nosier, bigger tires are almost quieter in my opinion. The steering feels a bit less sharp and sporty, feels more off road like a pickup or jeep I’d say.
@@timetested i see thanks so much
