Good evening, I have a gen 3 with 215 maxis worm drives and a 40mm old man emu lift kit.
I have been offered a set of wheel spacers, does anyone know if they will fit ok?
regards
Steve

Wether they fit or not I wouldn't bother. Spacers are bad for wheel bearing life expectancy and steering geometry and kingpin bearings and don't do anything meaningful in return.

And if you sell your current wheels, and buy used with the offset you want/need there is most likely no cost involved other than moving tyres over to the correct wheels.

Will fit fine on rear you may or may not get a little rub on the front
ask if you can try before you buy
stick one or both fronts on and reverse with full lock on
up a curb or incline trying full lock both ways

Who knows whether they will fit or not?? The key question is whether the PCD of the spacers matches the PCD of the Jimny.
And as Lambert says, they mean you will put extra strain on the wheel bearings.
