For comparison, I also had 205/75/15 Grabber ATs fitted yesterday. Standard suspension, 2007 bumpers, but still on standard non-offset alloys.
Before
After
Clearances on front wheel at full lock
Clearances on front wheel at one turn of lock
This is all on the (almost) flat obviously. That inboard bracket looks like a potential rubbing point as the axle moves - should be able to check full axle articulation in a couple of weeks when I next play off road.
I have only driven a couple of road miles, but the Grabbers seem no noisier than the 2x Duellers / 2x Federals that they replace, and the ride seemed better as well. The drive to work next week will tell me more.
Overall, very pleased with these! Those black 30mm offsets do look good though....

You should be ok unless you remove the arb.

They look good, I really don't think they will clear the upper arches at articulation tho, might be wrong.

Just want to add, I was very close to buying 215 75 15 with offset wheels, these will never fit without cutting the bumper IMO, feel I dodged a bullet there!-)
Just a warning for others...

The difference between 205/75 and 215/75 r15 is 14mm diameter, so 7mm radius. You've clearly shown there is much more space around the tyre than 7mm and I can tell you from experience there is enough clearance at the top of the arch, even with the ARB removed. Off-set wheels would cause an issue, but 215s on standard rims are fine!

I replied on your other thread, but have a look at 195/80/15, should fit facelift models if not using offset wheels. With the Jimny every mm of ground clearance helps!

If you looked at my other pics you would see 10mm clearance at 1/4 lock, that's with me bending the bottom brackets as far as they would go, I did state they wouldn't fit on offset wheels with 215's.... well maybe 3-+mm clearance. Eek not for me.

Thanks, they are -30 from jimny bits, 48 quid each iirc, they are 7 inch wide too so that equates to the rim sticking out about 48 mm. As you get an extra 18mm rim width either side of the standard 5.5 inch rim.

Drives great too, I did have them balanced on the studs with the adapter, the tyre centres don't like putting it on there machine but with all the stories of bigger tyres and rims adding to death wobble it's well worth causing them the inconvenience IMO. Rides as smooth as standard.

I am informing the public that I have finished all my additions to the Wiki article about tyre sizes, models and best usage practices.
The article is located here:
www.bigjimny.com/mediawiki/index.php/Tyr...age_-_best_practices
I consider that article 98% finished.
Part of the content of that article (the last three chapters) is replicated in another wiki article about improving and modifying Jimny for mixed on-road and off-road use: www.bigjimny.com/mediawiki/index.php/Imp..._and_all_terrain_use
By the way, that article is also 98% finished as far as I am concerned.

Well it ain't over until it's over!
After sleeping it over last night, I had some more ideas and some refinements to add. So now those should finally be (almost) finished.
