Thanks for all the informative replies.
Found this site on which you can compare tire sizes very effectively...
No worries about gearing with 195/80R15?
But it will need a lift for these tires, right?
Is a 2" lift sufficient?
Must admit it will be my wife's car so I sort of can only sneak in a little here and there..... :whistle:
Here's the link to that site:

@ Helijohn, thanks it's got a Lokka front and ARB rear locker and climbs like a goat...

In Japan the got the Jimny without the fender extensions, they run that 600 cc engine to fit in the small car category...
Wonder how those tires would look on an 1.3 Jimny...

They will work ok on standard gearing but you will definitely notice the difference.
