Are the stock alloys wider than the standard steel wheels? From what I've read 195 is the maximum width on the 5.5" steel rim.

On a lower profile car tyre I’d say the 5.5 steel rim in too narrow for a 215 tyres. However, on a higher profile tyre I think it’s no issue. I found some info to back this up somewhere...

I'm still trawling the accessory catalogues and would really like to get some of the luggage hooks (9915F-78R00-000), but sadly not listed as a UK accessory yet. Pricing is bizarren though, on the Swiss Suzuki site they've got them listed for £138, for 4 little D-ring things! :ohmy:


Which hooks are those the ones shown for under the rear side windows or the ones at the bottom of the rear door opening?

On Friday I left some part numbers with my dealer to find out if they could get them (that was before Martin put up his post). I will see if they get back to me this week. Alternatively I have these as back-up or

I'd like to keep mine in stealth mode - relatively modest tyres and no lift. I will want all terrain tyres though, and 215/75R15 seems like a decent upgrade as you can stick with the original alloy rims. Those BFG's are heavy though - the extra rotational weight must be sapping performance and sucking fuel, not to mention eating into the limited GVM. A set of Toyos is 30 lbs lighter: tiresize.com/tires/Toyo/Open-Country-AT-II-215-75R15.htm . Seems like a winner!

It's the ones at the bottom of the rear door. Thanks for the links, will be nterested to hear what your dealer says.

I have seen plenty like the ones you mean, but they don't have the little bent tab to stop them twisting around the bolt hole. I'll keep you posted.

The wheels are exactly the same dimensions as all previous Jimny's. 215's are fine on 5.5J rims. We have gone up to 31" tyres with no problems with the rims.
