The Ultimate Question of everything Suzuki Jimny...
Whats the biggest tyres you can fit on stock suspension, no body lift and only minor trimming of the plastic arches with a little prying of the inner sheet metal  ?



The Ultimate Answer is not 42 but 32".... well 235/85-16 to be specific which are just under 32".
Yes on Stock Suspension & No Body Lift ! (With only Minor Trimming of all original panels & trim, keeping 99% & the Slightest Bit of Persuasion with a prybar and limited repetitive percussive alignment with a BFH.

 

 
 
Looking for a nice clean and straight LHD Jimny..... Not any more.
Got one that seems to have been magnatized and driven through the "Big Jimny Bits" parts stores too quickly so it missed a few items.

I look forward to seeing what you've done. That's the modern equivalent of 7.50r16, which I've always thought would be a good size on a standard Jimny.
I've been thinking 205/85r16 could be done, but I haven't been able to find any sensibly priced 5.5j16 rims to put them on.

Correction
I might have got it wrong on the tire size: 235/85-16.
My concern, as on all builds, was clearance of the front tyres against the fire wall.
I might have to adjust the size & my ambitions.

I think it was Dave with his boogie build that used offset castor correction bushes to move forward the front axle a little to get clearance?

Others have re-drilled the radius arm brackets on the chassis to move the front axle forwards slightly.
