Those are aftermarket rims, you should check the backspacing/offset and width, it may be stamped on it.

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

Non-remould 235/75 R15s may fit, such as BFGoodrich, Kumho or Generals. Remoulds tend to be an inch or so taller. They are also horrible on the road!

A safer bet is going for some 215/75 R15 or 195/80 R15.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationThanks guys,i checked last night there' s no markings on them to suggest the width but i assuming looking at them they gotta be at least 9j,i can't open my thumb and middle finger and touch both ends of the tread.

if i can sell these i was looking at a 205/70/15 off road tyre like below

would a 215/75/15 be a better fit or 195/80/15?

Thanks again

I use THIS SITE to compare tyre sizes.

205/70 is the standard tyre size. 215/75 or 195/80 offer a bit more ground clearance and will fit without trimming.

If you intend to use this Jimny as your daily driver I would avoid re-moulds! Yes they are cheap, but you could get a decent set of all-terrains for not much more which will still look good, handle a lot better on the road, be much quieter and last a lot longer!
