I have stock Jimny currently running standard suspension with 215/75/15 Toyo AT’s. These are great tyres but I’d quite like a little more ground clearance and more mud plugging capabilities. I don’t want anything more than a 2” lift as I do daily the car for around 10 miles and I cannot be bothered faffing around changing brake hoses and stuff. I don’t mind doing a little bumper trimming within reason. What do you think is the max size tyres I can put on? I’m currently looking at either 235/75/15 which would give 1.2” lift which I’m not sure is quite enough or 31/10.5/15 which would give 3.3” lift.
Anything bigger than the 215 you have now is going to need a regear of some description as you will quickly burn up either the clutch or the transmission fluid. Not saying it can't be done just that it's not as simple as fitting the tyres under the car.

One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.
ADOS Attention Deficit Ooooh Shiny!
My clutch is smelly also with the 235 and low gears. It holds but will be changed. And 235 without more engine or gearing will make a dull car. 31 would need major cutting of the fenders and bumper to clear.
All this based on my own experience.

You don't say which model Jimny you have.
On a gen 3, 235's don't fit with a 2" lift. You need to some cutting.
On a gen 4, 235's just fit with a 2" lift with a little trimming of the front bumper.
If you accept minor rubbing on full flex 235 is ok on stock wheels. No cutting. Yes the stock wheels are too narrow so in some peoples book it is not ok. But for me it works fine.
