Standard rims are 5.5x15 et5 the link below might be of use for finding out standard wheel offsets for different years:

The following website was one I used when working out which offset I wanted to use on the Jimny:

Hope this helps

Just a word of advice, something I've only recently discovered...

Nice as the offsets are, they have a downside in that if you're driving offroad anywhere with even a hint of mud, you'll have mud splattered everywhere. And by everywhere I mean not just up the sides, also on the side mirrors, windscreen and even front of the bonnet somehow. And worst of all over the inside roof of the car and arms if you want to spend any time with your window open. And this wasn't even in thick mud, just farmers fields!

We all like a bit of the "muddy look" to our Jimnys, but trust me this gets old really quickly when having to deal with all of the above.

I'm not getting rid of the offsets though, I'm waiting for some cheap flexy flares to arrive so that should sort it, so this might be an option in allowing you to keep the wider wheels MadsV

Edit: Forgot to add, this was with only ET-12 rims slicking out just slightly, less than what you've got there on the ET-30

What Venter says ^

Crap on your mirrors and door handles all the time gets tiresome pretty quickly. There's no benefit to a wider stance. I think it makes a 4x4 look much less purposeful too, trying too hard to look sporty. I think 215s on standard rims look pretty neat and they have always worked just fine for me.
