Thanks! :)

I got some fitting valves for the 10 inchers, and installed them yesterday. Now I just need to find some time to put some rubber onto them, and you'll see how crazy it looks! :laugh: Those are not the best wheels for Jimny, and I'm gonna use 8" wheels when I get the slightly wider Toyota axles installed, but until that I'm going to go crazy just for the cool looks! B) (after all those tires will go back under the SJ, and I need those wide wheels for that truck, so that's why I'm playing around with them)

The red line indicates how much I needed to cut to make room for the tires. But with the wider wheels I need to hammer it in some more, so the 8 inch wheels with -22 offset are spot on for Jimny if you're running big tires! Still need to run some flex tests to see if I need to modify the front body mounts, and if I need to restrict travel in with bump stops(which I doubt), but there's A LOT more room in there compared to SJ's!


And here's all the stuff that needed to go so far.

Yeah, lets see what happens when I get to test it. I don't think there's gonna be any problems with the rears, but the fronts might rub some when the wheels are at certain angle, but that's easily fixed. All I have to do is find all rub marks, and give some hammer or angle grinder treatment to those spots! :laugh:
