215/75/15 will fit on a standard jimny so with the spacers I would of thought you will be ok unless you flex the rear to the max.

Also running 215/75/15 (Hankook Dynapro MT, not remoulds). Got a 2" spacer lift (or was it 1.5"?) and the tyres aren't even close to rubbing, reckon I could even get some 235/75/15's in there with no worries (anti-roll bar still attached).
Mine is a 2009, so it's the one with the bumper that gives the least clearance. My previous Jimny was a 2003 and had no problem with the 215's even with zero suspension lift. Wheels are 15x7, so not significantly different to your 15x7.5's

Awesome, thank you very much. What are the Hankook MTs like on-road? And especially in the wet?
By the way I'm originally from Aberdeenshire too.

Not bad at all on-road, although this is relative as it's still a MT tyre. If you aren't going to be speding much time off-road then go for something else, but if you want a MT then it's one of the best. They've got a fairly soft and tacky rubber (low durometer rating), which means they wear quickly when under a bigger 4x4, but with how light a Jimny is this isn't a problem. The tackyness does mean they grip really well in the dry though. They've got bout 40k miles on them and still have another 10-20k left.
In the wet, they're just alright, good as far as MTs go, but still far from good. I have adjusted how I drive and now have no problems any more, although there were a few arse-clenching moments when I first got them.
I'm in Insch, near Inverurie. Minimum temp tonight is 4 degrees, and it's early August! Bet you're happy to have left
