There is a tyre size guide sticky at the top of the page and there's further information in the wiki section too. 195.80r15 and 205.75r15 seem to be popular but they with affect the gearing to a degree. There are also a number of new and remoulded products in the standard 205.70r15.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationNo eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationTyres 205/75/15 will fit with no issues
If you want wider tyres you will need to do a lift either body or suspension
Remove the running boards and fit rock sliders just for looks :)
A roof rack




Just my opinion different roof racks and rock sliders available just do some searching ;)

Every modification ends in a compromise
All this depends how deep your pockets are ;)

Something more to consider. Lifting the suspension and then fitting bigger tyres is going to ruin the finesse of the steering and ride quality. It is also going to increase wear rates in the steering components and wheel bearings and is going to increase the effects of any steering wobbles. It is also going to increase your maintenance costs.

I've sent you a private message.

You are right Lambert, but wouldn't life be boring without a few modifications?

2" lift kit, decent quality such Trailmaster comfort kit (sold in the bigjimny shop) and 215/75x15 tyres. I run BFG AT's in that size and you can live with the negatives if it's just the "look" your after.

The gear above will give that stance and probably improve handling from standard, even though its lifted.

Bonus is, it will also make it very capable off road......

But if it makes for a more informed decision then it's worth mentioning.
