New jimny was created by jfkenpoman

Ok so we have now got our new jimny, in royal blue, I will be looking to upgrade suspension with a 2" kit. On my last jimny I fitted steel modular s with 215/75 bfg a/t tyres, the wheels had an offset of 7. I think. What offset wheels will I need for the new jimny. I hope to run either 205 or 215 tyres.

15x7 rims are as wide as you an go without some offset. Jimnybits do some with a -15 offset which is ideal.

215/75r15 tyres is all i can comment on, but on standard wheels with no offset they worked fine and didnt catch, as soon as i added some 30mm spacers (e.g. -30mm offset), the front tyres caught on the bumper and arch trims near the bottoms. This is on a 2007 jimny.

Is that your new jimny in the picture
If you're not putting a lift on it then 215/75/15 with 0 off set wheels
If you're going to lift it 2" then 215/75/15 with -30 off set will fit

I managed with std alloys and no offset with 215's, no catching other than full lock at parking speeds and only a touch.

I wanted a broader footprint and went to -30mm and with now, new suspension, they are fine.

So, std is ok and anywhere up to -30 should be ok if your suspension is in good nick or lifted.

thanks sniper, at the moment i have standard suspension, although I have just placed an order with martin for the 2" lift kit. When i bought the vehicle all the tyres were perished and split in the treads due to being stood so the dealer i bought it off had 4 new tyres fitted. I just want a set of steel wheels with a/t tyres fitted

If your going +2" lift, then as jack says -30 all the way......

This is mine with the spacers on and 215 BFG AT KO2 tyres.

The sidewall of the tyres just peeps out of the arches but all tread is inside. Cracking tyres by the way, improved on the old ones, especially in snow.
