Isuzu MU-X Tyres and Rims - Fitting Fuel Offroad Rims and Atturo Trailblade M/Ts
Вставка

- Hey Guys and Gals!
In this video I show you the rims and tyres i have chosen to run on the Isuzu MU-X. I also show you exactly how to fit your new tyres to the rims and balance them using the correct machinery.
I thought this would be a good insight into what is happening behind the scenes when you drop your 4x4 off to a 4wd or tyre shop to get your new rims and tyres fitted.
I show you the process of fitting and balancing the new tyres and rims before putting them on the 4wd.
The Rims are - Fuel Offroad Rims 17 x 8.5 pos 7.4mm offset
The Tyres are - Atturo Trail Blade M/Ts 265/70r17
They are a legal size to fit on the Isuzu MU-X, the standard tyres measure approximately 30" and the upgraded tyres measure in at 31.6" so they are within the legal 2" size increase.
If you enjoyed this video and would like to see more of the 2018 Isuzu MU-X then hit the subscribe button and the thumbs up and stay tuned for the build up.

I just bought some FUEL VECTORs for my JEEP here in BRAZIL and this video helps a lot.
Can’t wait to see the full built on this one. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great clip mate. Really interesting to see how you fit the tyres and rims. Keep up the good work!
Look awesome Nick. Cheers Steve
Great video Nick, I’ve just moved from an MUX to a DMax. MUX was an awesome 4x4. Now waiting on the delivery from USA of my Fuel - Trophy D551 Rims to fit to my DMax. Really enjoying your videos, thank you for sharing Nick.
Thats awesome! Those rims should look great on the D-Max!
Great vid..
Love the rims!!!
nice looking rig, thanks for sharing Nick
Cheers Sean! 😊
Getting my stock tires replaced after 130k km milage. Installing 265/70R17 A/T this week! Glad to have a preview of how it would look like eventhought its m/t. very big difference. great videos sir :)
hey nick just follow up question. whats your psi now with those tires. im using same size now.
4:39 Analysing the electronic console I realised how perfect the form was. Workshop encouragement award.
nice video and great poster at 4:28 lol
What a massive difference wheels and tyers do...👌...
Totaly changes the look! Too much chrome in standard form. Once i get a few more black accessories it should be perfect 😊
@@LowRangeNick bro, I need to pick your brain, I have an Isuzu pick up extended cab and I fitted nice matte black after market 16inch rims, but I realise that the gap in the wheel Arch's is significant, what size or recommendation would you suggest I go for/do?
@@duffydon1741 Are the tyres too small? The 16" equivalent of what I'm running is 265/75r16 👍
@@LowRangeNick I'm running 245/70/16, continental at the back and grabber in the front... they are not too bad but I'm not sure if I'm smitten, so you reckon the 265/75/16 would do better?
@@duffydon1741 The 265's will give you a larger and wider tyre so you will get more traction offroad and they are a perfect size for the mu-x.
Lol I live 25 minutes away from the Fuel rims factory. I just installed 20" candy blue fuel rims with 33" fuel gripper tires on my Ford Expedition 😊. Those are really nice fuel rims you have👍😃. Great video
That's awesome! They do some insane looking rims! 😀
LowRangeNick hey mate. I’ve just recently subscribed to your channel. How have the tyres been going a year later. I’ve tried finding A/T equivalents in the same size but seems like they’re not available here. How do they go on wet roads? Fuel economy? Etc.... cheers
Keep up the good work
@@kenezos They are slippery in the wet and increased the fuel economy slightly maybe 1l per 100km. They are great offroad though!
Great vids Nick, jus new to this channel enjoying it so far. Ive got new Dmax btw and love the Isuzu's its my 2nd one i think you'll love it 🤘🤘
Thanks alot for Subscribing! Im really enjoying it so far, such a great 4wd!
Ive decked the new 1 out a bit than last but still gotta do a few more mods like haven't decided on lights yet if you have any ideas?
@@justinwhite4451 I have an old led light bar by LIVID lighting that i ran on my 80 series. Im gonna get it re sprayed and reuse it when i get my bullbar 😁 Stedi are a good brand priced in the middle of the market but have great light out put. If you want to spend good money for incredible lights then Livid lighting or Peak.
Cheers mate 👍
I tried a set of those Atturo Muds. After the first softness wore off they howled like a banshee at anything over 15kph and don't even ask about the wet bitumen grip. They were lethal and I couldn't get rid of them fast enough. Replaced them with Nitto Trails and entered a new world of silence and grip - they even smelled of real rubber for a few months. 18 months on now and still performing superbly - great offroad and on.
Sorry to rain on your parade, but facts are facts.
Hey bud! They are noisy, they dont have the best grip in the wet and they arent the best on road tyre. Offroad they are awesome 😊😊😊
Nice rims mate
Cheers 😊
Very cool ..
Remember the old days when they hammered the weights on the rim edges. Still spot them on the side of old roads every now and then.
LowRangeNick. Looks sweet I have been trying to decide what rims to get. I have a 2013 Dmax lsm. I am finding it hard to get a definitive answer on the offset I can run. I am wanting to get Fuel Vector or Podium wheels in 17s. Have you fitted the dmax with a positive offset rim? I want to stay under the guards. Im in NSW
Thanks Nick - good to see. The Atturo Trail Blade being fitted - will be interested in hearing your impressions after 50k km. Putting aside the look factor - are the rims worth it? Presumably you could have gotten tyres for the standard rims to give you the 1.6" boost? I'm not having a go at the look factor - they look stunning, the question is about function.
If you put the look factor aside the only advantage realy is that the rim is wider and has more offset so in theory it should give slightly more stability and a larger tyre footprint when it is deflated. So far the tyres are good! They are noisy but thats to be expected with an aggresive M/T. Keen to give them a really good offroad test soon! 😊👍
Hi Nick. Awesome videos. Do you reckon I can fit a 285/60 18 in the MUX LST 2020? I know I’ll have to change the rims to do that and I’ll be also putting a lift kit later on. Will that size of tyres be legal? Cheers mate.
Awesome channel mate, very interested to know whether fuel economy changed with the larger sized tyres. cheers and keep the clips coming
Thanks Doug! It has increased approx 1L per 100km 😊
@@thebells.explore Uses between 8 to 10l per 100km depending on driving. Highway driving it gets down pretty low 😊
Hi mate, i like your video. I have 17 inches rim on my mux with positive 30 offset 265/65r17 tyres, is it ok to put 265/70r17 on it or do i need to change my rim?
Thanks a lot for the video, I changed the led bulb following ur tutorial video:), I wonder can I change the tyre and rim(the same as yours) without lifting the car?
I reckon if you believe enough anything is possible :P
Hi Nick, about to buy an MUX and I'm interested in an update on the difference in ride since the upgraded suspension and new tyres please went on. Cheers Ross.
Hey Ross! Thats exciting! After the suspension the ride is a little stiffer but i did get the rated suspension for a bullbar and winch so once i put those on it will soften up a little with the extra weight. The mud tyres are a little noisey so if your concerned about the noise go for and A/t tyre. Overall it is really great and makes a huge improvement offroad. Hope that helps! Cheers 😊👍
Hey Nick, I am running on stock shocks with no lift-kit whatsoever- also my current wheels are 20s 265/50 series tyres. Planning to go down to 17 and would probably go 265/70/17 just like you but I will not be upgrading my shocks nor add a liftkit. Would the tires fit my MUX without any hiccups such as turning from left to right?
nice video.. planning on getting vector rims as well but my concern was the center cap. i see you were able to fit yours after removing the circlip. do you still have them on now after a few runs?
I have taken the front ones off now as a few of the clips broke off them. I just painted the hubs black so it still looks ok.
What are you doing for the spare Nick? Enjoying the videos - keep them coming!
Cheers Ian! I will probably keep the standard rim and get a cheap all terrain in the 265/70r18 size 😁
@@LowRangeNick hi nick does it still fit on the spare tire below?
@@imyourkarma08 yep sure does
Hi nick i was looking at the FUEL wheels for my mu-x but couldn't decide on the "offset" as word had got around cops had started pulling over 4wds with excessive wheel/tyer offsets as certain states deemed illegal. So in your opinion whats the best offset and how did the new wheel -tyer combo fit in the spare wheel well. thanks,
Hey Matt! The 17x8.5 7.4mm offset fits really well. It is completely under the guards on the front and sticks out on the rear only about 5-10mm. That is with these tyres which have a really aggressive sidewall tread. I havnt upgaded the spare tyre yet but will eventually. Thinking of keeping the standard rim and putting a 265/70r18 tyre on it as my spare. Apparently you can just get enough room to fit a 265 spare underneath. If you have a towbar you need to deflate the tyre a bit and pull it against the towbar as much as possible to clear the rear panhard and diff etc. Hope that helps 😁
Hey Nick, love the vids! Just wondering how the tyres are going 20 months on. What's the verdict?
Great offroad tyre, very aggressive. They are noisy and slippery in the wet though. I have now gone with falken Wildpeak at3 and they are exceptional!
hi Nick..........nice tyres and rims mate.car looks good with side steps off...why did you put them back on for the off road test? cheers
Hey Brian! I took them off because i bent them a little bit on a trip down to NSW. So i ended up doing a little bit of pannel beating haha or sidestep beating and got them back in shape and then fitted them back to the car. I will be getting rock sliders soon though to protect those precious side sills 😂😂
Do you know if this tire size can be used without lift kit?
Would these rims and tyres fit my stock height 2014 LST?
Hi nick, Im dhylan from Indonesia, nice your video nick. I have mu-x to 2015 edition. Can you tell me cantering code? My car change up to ring 18. I need a cantering code like the one you use on your car. Please help me 😁
Hi Nick are you using these for show or for around town? I put on a set of steel rims if I'm going off road, anything other than steel is to brittle for bush work. Steel at least you can bang back into shape if something bad happens.
They are the only rims on the car so they go off-road, highway, around town. Everything. These rims are Fuel Off road Rims specifically made for off road vehicles. It is a common misconception that steel rims are the way to go when choosing off-road rims. Most of the alloy rims you will see broken are factory alloys which arent up to the task when it comes to off-roading. You would have to be doing something seriously stupid to do any damage to one of these :P
Shout out to the bikini calendar on the wall
Hey mate did you have to order a larger centre cap for the Mux? Looking for a set of wheels at the moment and the front hubs are causing issues trying find a decent looking set. Not going to copy you, yours looks mint though.👍
Hey Hughesy! The rims came with 2 types of center caps shallow ones and the deeper ones. I ended up fitting the deeper ones and they fit in there pretty snug!
Hey Nick like your channel,i have a dmax and i was looking for a lift + suspension kit for it . what kind of kit do you recommend and what lift do you have in the MU-X? inquiring minds wanna know.
I have an Outback Armour 50mm Suspension lift in the MU-X. It is pretty good. If i had the extra coin though i would probably go for a fox suspension kit fully adjustable just for the extra comfort and handling. But if your on a budget then Outback Armour, EFS or Bilstein are good choices.
thanks nick, i am thinking about old man emu BP 51s or arb nitro chargers. what say.
@@lakshindersingh1708 BP51s would be nice!
Hey Nick. Not sure if you still read from this video. How do you stop the tyre rubbing on the upper control arm at full lock? Or does the offset rim sort that.
My colorado 7 has 265/75r16 on standard +35 rim. It also has adjustable upper control arms on 2 inch lift. They had to dial back caster to stop it rubbing brake line off uca. Drives crap now
The offset of the rims will help with this. If you try pos 20 or even 10 it will give you more clearance.
@@LowRangeNick thank mate. I was just saving for rear locker, damn. Better sort this first.
Hope you are well. Guessing you've been busy with the young one. Look forward to more quality vids in the future. Cheers
Great vid Nick. Have your new wheels put your odometer/speedo out at all?
It made it pretty much spot on. The kms were out by about 4-5kmhr but now its dead on 😊👍
LowRangeNick can I ask what the new tyre size was?
@@yowiehunter80 265/70r17 👍
Hey mate does this offset rim keep you legal and keep the insurance company happy?
pretty cool tyres nick! how much was the whole set of 4?
Cheers Olec 😊 The whole set of 4 cost me $935 delivered.
very good bargain indeed 👍🏼
Hey Nick. I've just put the vectors on my 16 mux.. the front centre caps wernt deep enough they are the 1003-46mb size cap. Not sure the suitable size would be. Could u help with that?
I got 4 of the same center caps with mine that were deep enough to go over the front hubs but they were really tight to fit in between the rim and the hub. Now I don't run any covers on the front wheels.
Hey mate have you experienced any scrubbing at low tyre pressure at all? I have a 2018 LS-U dmax and find that when I’m running low tyre pressure on the beach and side load the tyres by turning in deep ruts they scrub somewhere but I can’t find any sign of where, no polished marks or anything. Standard LS-U rims, even my original tyres did it but now I’ve put 265/70R17’s on it’s quite bad, I like to run my tyres at about 15 on the soft stuff so it scrubs a fair bit. Any experience with this problem?
I did have to tie back the mud flaps on the front with a zip tie to stop them scrubbing on the tyres.
Hi Nick I just re watch your rims and tyre up grade. I have the 18” rims on my 2018 Mux lst and thinking of going to 17. I don’t do a lot of off road but do tow a caravan. You have the 8.5 inch and 7.5 off set. I was going to go for 265/65/17. does it matter 8 or 8.9 or 9 inch also. My tyre guy said to go 8 inch and 30+ ofset I am a bit confused if you could advise thanks mate. Hope you get this
Hi Neil! Your tyre guy is right. The best size and offset rim for the mu-x is +30 or +20 offset and a 17x8" rim.
@@LowRangeNick thanks for getting back so quick. Enjoy watching your videos. You explain so clearly. I have rewatch quite a few as I do stuff
@@neilbates8409 No worries at all Neil! Thanks alot 😊
Hey mate, do you have any scrubbing issues with that wheel and tire combo?.
Keen to upgrade the DMAX and not sure what size I can fit.Currently have stock 17s with 265/65/17 Dueler a/t but want to increase tire size and new rims.most rims seem to be 17x9 and I’m worried about them rubbing..
I have had to do some trimming to make them fit.
@@LowRangeNick what did you trim?.I’m not too keen on cutting my car 😂
@@CRN8091 body mount
Hey Nick. Where abouts is your shop located. I'll get u to fit my suspension?
We are located on the Sunshine Coast, QLD. Coolum Motors is the name of the workshop were i work. 😊
how has the change of wheel/tyre combo changed the accuracy of the Speedo?
Yes it has
I have a Isuzu mux too
Awesome!
U should take out that rear section of the exhaust
How's the feedback on the wheels Nick? I've seen negative comments that the paint is quite thin and wears out fast.
They are great rims! I go off-road pretty much every weekend and have only one little scuff on my LHR rim from grazing it againts a rock. I have only had the rims on for about 4 months so as for a longevity test i cant tell you yet. But soo far they are awesome and no issues with the paint 😊
@@LowRangeNick Great! Looking to get the same specs as you have Nick.
@@rolandoasuncion8075 Awesome!! They are a good size and offset, they sit just slightly outside the guards on the rear. 👍😊
Hi Nick,
Where did you purchase your Atturo tyres from?
Cheers
From Tyroola online 😊
Hello Mr. Nick. I have a 2019 MuX. I am really keen to go for a spare set of AT/ MT wheel + Tyre set. Could you guide once again, what is the wheel rim size and Tyre size i should ask the Tyre supplier to get it fitted on to my MuX? Stock Tyre size on vehicle currently is 255/60 R18 HT.
You can go to a 265/70r17 tyre on a 17x8 positive 20 offset rim and it should fit well. It will also give you a little more clearance underneath the diffs and controll arms.
@@LowRangeNick thanks a mill for the reply. I will update you. May i have your whatsapp number to do more consulting on MUX if thats OK with you.
@@shafeeryousaph5364 if you'd like to get in contact easier just jump onto my Facebook page - lowrangenick and message me there 😊
What's the size of the centre bore your rims? Did you install the centre ring for the rims?
Yep i installed the concentric rings to locate the rims on the hub. Im not sure of the exact size of the center bore.
@@LowRangeNick greetings from indonesia, I'm a mux user too, nice to see your videos, here mux is not as popular as fortuner and pajero sport, because of the brand image factor for commercial cars
How do you find low range power and take off with the larger wheels? A lot different to standard size?
I can't even notice it. In low range there is a torque multiplication due to the lower gearing in the transfer case so there is still plenty of power and torque! I am also running a Ecu Shop Super 4 Touch and the mu-x is putting out just over 140kw and 485nm so there is no shortage of power or torque 😀😀😀
@@LowRangeNick
Thanks Nick! That ecu remap will do the job! I have fairly standard SX dmax with a steel tray, bar work and 1in lift. Might just try the bigger size anyway. Your +7 offset is a big difference to the factory one, wouldn't have thought with only 265 wide you would need such an offset?
@@outdoors5352 The +7 offset wasnt necessary to fit that size tyre.. It was just what the rims came in. If you want your tyres under the guards id recommend a +20 offset. 😊
Look great mate.
ps can I have a sticker 😉
Ill get a couple more printed if youd like one 😊
Hello , I am following you from Saudi Arabia, can I use 285/65/17?
You sure can, that measures 31.6". You would have to get some new rims though as the tyres are alot wider than factory and won't fit on the standard 7" rims.
Thank you so much 😊
Hi mate, what do you think with 285 70r16. Thanks
Hi nick.
Just asking, What size of tyres and wheels you have in mux?? And also the offset? Thanks!
265/70r17 tyres and 17x8.5 positive 7.4mm offset 😊👍
LowRangeNick
Cheers mate
@@LowRangeNick Hay mate good Video. Would the 265/70r17 fit the stock LSU rims with a Lovells GVM upgrade with a lift around 40 to 50 ml
@@mrdonny3501 Well the rims on my LSU were 18" so no they wouldnt fit the factory rims. You can however get 265/65r18 whch i believe fit the factory rims and are approx 31.6" tall 😊😊

265/65 r18 is this legal size to fit on 2018 mux ?
Yep!
@@LowRangeNick tnx. Greetings from philippines
ยางขนาดเท่าไหร่ครับ
Hi nick, what offset are the rims.
They are 17x8.5 positive 7.4mm offset. 👍
Hey Nick, where do I buy this?
Fuel rims have lots of outlets around the world. Might have to locate your nearest dealer from Google or their website.
Should have called yourself NicksFix. Lol
Is your old mags and tyres are for sale?
They were.. i sold them a while ago haha!
Where did you purchase these rims?
From Fuel offroad rims they are an american company 😊👍
How much did the fuel economy changed?
About 1-1.5l per 100 km 😊
@@LowRangeNick I see thanks mate
Why does your Mu-x sound much rowdier and badder and more manly? Ang why does mine sound more tame?
How much
nice wheels but black is boring and you can't see black wheels most of the time. Do they come in silver? I'd have to paint them..
You can get anthracite or bronze or black.
@@LowRangeNick great looking rims
Only 2 thing left to make it a true offroader: Snorkel and Front bullbar
Absolutely 😀 stay tuned 😉😉😉
@@LowRangeNick thx nick☺️
How Much Tire Pressure your car?
34Psi 😊
Hi mate
What size are the tyres?
265/70r17
31.6"
that many weights on a brand new wheel ? are they that low quality ?
Lol you should see a BFG on a new rim! Some of them take 200 grams! With mud tyres due to the large lugs they take alot of weight to balance 👍
Mate what did this do to ur fuel economy
It is about 1L per 100km worse. Now getting around 9l per 100 km, that's with all of the accessories on the vehicle though.
@@LowRangeNick thats mint
You may want to wear safety boots before dropping the wheel onto the floor.
The stock rims r ugly

How much are they?
