I bought these a while back: www.jimnybits.com/jimny-18-on/wheels-whe...lar-steel-wheel.html with -15 offset.

I need to find the part number for the tpms sensors.

Heres some pics in case -15 might be too much for you.

Nice pic's, -15 ET look border line. I would go for 0 ET with 215 tyres if I wanted a set of steel wheels.

Standard is 5mm. ET0 will cause the wheel to foul on the track rod ends.

15mm is good.

I know I am probably wrong but if a standard wheel is et5 ie. 5mm inset then moving to a et0 will move the wheel outwards 5mm giving more room on a similar size wheel and helping minimize the effects of a wider wheel catching?

Standard Gen4 alloys are ET5 - photo of the markings on the rear of mine below. I think you're right Lambert - going from ET5 to ET0 moves the wheel away from the suspension.

This is unexpected. Useful though as it suggests that all wheels are interchangeable across both generations 3 and 4. There was a suggestion that they were et22, makes more sense that Suzuki would keep as much as possible the same as it reduces production costs. Do we now have to investigate the alleged track width incr?
