Tyre Sizes for New Suzuki Jimny 2019?

One thing that we can be sure of is the gearing will still be very sensitive to increasing tyre size. The bigger engine will mitigate this slightly, but you're still going to run into issues going much bigger than standard. I suspect you would also have warranty issues- I'd be very surprised if they honoured the warranty on anything related to the axles, transmission, engine, brakes and steering knowing you have fitted bigger tyres.

Just chiming in to follow along and see what fits!

I have a spanking new JB74 here in South Africa and whilst I have no plans to upgrade the tyres, I am definitely interested in what would fit.

The nice thing with having stock 195/80R15 tyres on the new model is that a 215/75R15 replacement is only a 1.5% increase in diameter, rather than a 5.3% increase moving from the old model's 205/70R15.

Will be whipping off the alloys and fitting steelies with 215/75R15 BFGoodrich All terrain KO2s once mine arrives.

I also plan to fit 215/75r15 on a second set of steelies once mine arrives. They'll obviously fit with no issues being only a 1.5% increase in diameter. However does anyone have any idea regarding what size/offset of wheels will fit?

The info I have found online suggests the new Jimny has a 15x5.5j wheel with a +22 offset, which is a bit of a change in offset from the old one. The nearest match I have found so far for a reasonable price is a 15x7j wheel with an offset of +7 from 4x4tyres. This would mean they sit 4mm closer to the struts but also poke out a further 34mm.

I appreciate no one will know for certain as no one has taken delivery yet, but do you think they would fit ok?

Thanks

Found this helpful image online which shows a new Jimny on 215/75r15 BFG Mud Terrains. An internet search suggests the wheels are 15x6j with an offset of -5 so it seems like the wheels I'm looking at should fit without any major issues.

It's often struck me as odd that Suzuki didn't design their off road car around a more common tyre size with more and various off roading tread forms.
