hey guys i found that with 215 75 15 tyres that on a 2" lift i did'nt need to trim anything but i would often catch the front wheel arches. But when i went to 3" and had to put new lower arms on i had to trim the arches and the front bumper on the side and underneath lol so i bought some wide arches with a lot of clearence but the problem with that is i've now ordered some 30 x 9.50's B)

It is indeed a vicious circle ..
we have 215rx15 diamondbacks and these are 29.6" diameter. with out 2" lift, we have only minor trimming, but we have reciently purchased a 2" lift as we too fing that under extreme compression, the tyre touches the frotn wheelarches. Usually we adjust our speed to compensate, but it is hoped the 2" lift will give us the cleasrance we want, plus a mate has just put 31x10.5x15's on his sports track and now we want to put them on the Jimny as they would look awsome .. But now we have to look at castor correction, different TX ratio's.... Im afraid were on that slippery slope
