205 75 r15 will they fit?

For comparison, I also had 205/75/15 Grabber ATs fitted yesterday. Standard suspension, 2007 bumpers, but still on standard non-offset alloys.

This is all on the (almost) flat obviously. That inboard bracket looks like a potential rubbing point as the axle moves - should be able to check full axle articulation in a couple of weeks when I next play off road.

I have only driven a couple of road miles, but the Grabbers seem no noisier than the 2x Duellers / 2x Federals that they replace, and the ride seemed better as well. The drive to work next week will tell me more.

Overall, very pleased with these! Those black 30mm offsets do look good though....

You should be ok unless you remove the arb.

They look good, I really don't think they will clear the upper arches at articulation tho, might be wrong.

Just want to add, I was very close to buying 215 75 15 with offset wheels, these will never fit without cutting the bumper IMO, feel I dodged a bullet there!-)
Just a warning for others...

The difference between 205/75 and 215/75 r15 is 14mm diameter, so 7mm radius. You've clearly shown there is much more space around the tyre than 7mm and I can tell you from experience there is enough clearance at the top of the arch, even with the ARB removed. Off-set wheels would cause an issue, but 215s on standard rims are fine!

I replied on your other thread, but have a look at 195/80/15, should fit facelift models if not using offset wheels. With the Jimny every mm of ground clearance helps!
