To be honest the Jimny doesn't lend it's self to the wide boy look with that wide tyre on it and doesn't have the width for them width wise in the arches.

Wheel offset would have to push the wheel right out from the hub to prevent tyres touching the inner arch and spring mounts. This puts them so far outside the arches you would need KAP fibre glass arches on the front but would be stuck on the rear.

They wouldn't be much cop off road as the car would float on mud, never cutting through to the hard ground underneath. Wheel bearing life will be significantly reduced too.

So essentially, stick with the usual tried and tested sizes.235/75/15 perhaps on a modular rim, like those linked to on a recent post about wheels. I'm on my phone so not able to link it for you.

mine are 215 80 15 s n they look quite big on a 2 inch lift and trimmed the arches and bumpers, 235 s would look good though but recon need a 3 inch lift without chopping the arches even more .
with the same tyres on that is anyway,
