ET-15 would be my choice if i where buying wheels
ET-30 215 75 will catch a lot on standard ride height
-15 will bring your tyres close to arch edge

Would it be best to use 6x15 with -15 offset or 7x15 -15 offset? Planning on getting BFGoodrich AT's 215/75/15, I've got a standard ride height and will be trimming front bumper. Also will be using as a daily so if a - offset would be a problem doing 10000 miles per year would it be best to just go with ET0?

Any idea where I can source -15 from? Going with 205/75/15 AT’s now so maybe -30 would do? My only concern would be going through kingpins as it will be my daily.

You will not get 6"x 15" without importing some
Only size readily available in UK are 7"x 15"

Standard Jimny steel wheels are ET5. So don't go below this or you risk brake caliper clearance.

I think ET15 is a good compromise. A little wider without giving massive clearance issues or killing wheel bearings too often.
