I believe -5 is the offset of the OEM rims, so you should be fine with those rims, as long as you don't go overboard on the tire size.

Regarding that suspension lift - a four inch lift sounds quite extreme. If the JA22W uses the same (or a similar) coil spring setup as the JB43 & JB74, you'll probably need some sort of caster compensation so it might be an idea to make sure the kit includes it.

Can someone confirm if the data in the wiki about Jimny wheel offsets is correct:
www.bigjimny.com/mediawiki/index.php/Tyr..._wheel_specification

It currently states ET22 for Jimny 3 steel and alloy OEM wheels, but ET5 for Jimny 4 steel and alloy wheels.

Correct or not?
What should be written there?
