wheels and tyres was created by jfkenpoman
i have been looking at getting new black modular wheels in 15" Together with bfg a/t in 215/75/15.
i have found at tyres direct online
black modular size 7x15
fitment 5x139.7
offset ET-07
£40 each
for set of 5 with bfg in 215/75/15 £774.75
the other site was 4x4tyres.co.uk but they only seem to have 15" white modulars which i dont want, their tyres are more expensive though!!!

will the above black modulars fit on a standard jimny?
where did you buy your wheels & tyre packages from guys?

Do the lift with suspension blocks, cost me about £40 to do mine, and an hour and a halfs work to fit them.

How old is your Jimny? You may find that 215/75/15 don't fit if you have the facelift front bumper... (but you probably already knew that)

This is the best spacer lift.

I'd rather put the money towards a proper 2" spring lift and some castor correction bushes.
I use the same spacers on top of my +3 lift springs.
