Dont think you would have much arch left, gearing would be a problem to I would think

Guessing I've got no chance with no lift then ?
Would they fit if the arches and bumper were cut ?

you will need at least a 4" lift,lots of trimming and a rocklobster box and alot of spare shafts.

may aswell sell them on then

Well.. more or less.

You'll do fine with a 2" lift. It's just a matter of buying the right springs.

Why do most people change the alloys to steels when changing to a MT tyre?

i'm on the look out for a set of 215/75 R15 to put straight onto the standard alloys on my Jimny to see me through the winter and some light off roading. Then will be doing a 2" lift next year along with some other mods to start some serious off roading.

Am i setting myself for a fall? i cant see any reasons not to use the standard 5 spoke alloys, after all they are in good nick. Alloys are 15 - 5.5J on a 55plate VVT

I think it's because they can be knocked back into shape were as the alloy would crack under severe circumstances. I done it because I prefer the steels but that's just my preference a lot of people do use alloys
