Looking for a set off decent off road wheels tyres

Hi all,

I have been looking to buy a standard jimny and covert it into a reasonable 'off roader' myself, I will put a 2" body lift (not suspension) on it and try keep it standard as possible really.

I have found a website that sells the 2" body lift but now just looking for a decent set of mud tyres and wheel package online.

I will be using the car everyday to work and general trips so I was wondering if anyone can recommend any tyres that aren't to aggressive on road but are still highly capable off road (if this is possible) I can put up with abit of uncomfort but using it on a daily basis I don't want to be fighting with the tyres.

Also I want the wheels mean and big to set the car off.

If anyone could recommend a website to get a package would be brill! Or somewhere close to Bristol.

You would be far better with a suspension lift over a body lift
Good tyres for offroad and on are dakars they are a copy of the bfg muds
The bigger you go on tyres the worse your car will be both on and off road unless you change your transfer gearing
Hope that helps and welcome to the forum

so what size would I need to get if I don't want to trim the arches or anything, I am considering getting a 2" suspension lift if I can get decent insurance because I'm only 18 and insurance don't like mods lol I was hoping getting away with just putting a body lift and wheels

And thankyou glad to join!

A good alternative to a full suspension lift ( in my opinion ) is the 1-3/4" lift from bits4vits (£150 ish)
Is cheeper than a ''real'' lift and being under 2" wont need castor corrected radius arms
Its basicly 4 spring spacers and then brackets to make your shocks longer
Wow tyres size thats the No1 question around here lol there are hundreds of threads about it
If it were me i would stick to stock size as even at stock low ratio on the box isnt quite low enough ,
But thats not good for looks so you like everyone wants a nice chunky tyre

hi mate, im 18 as well like you and i have 2" spring spacers on mine like reaper has just described in the post above, with 215/75/15 bfg mud terrains

I just assume big set of ballon type tyres and jimny's be unstoppable lol

And yeah I've looked through the gallery and there are some nice wheels people have put on their jimny's but I can't find out what they are haha

But I'm completely new to off roading so that's why I'm gonna try do as much research as I can before I buy one lol

kuhmo tyres are good (correct me if spelling is wrong) ive got a set on my vitara rims at the moment. also got a set of 31" kingpins on the chrome wheels in my picture and another set of standard rims with.... cant remember the make but good tread pattern

Have you taken off the front bumper or anything? Do they rub?

Do vitara fatboy wheels fit on a jimny with a 1 3/4" lift on it?

(With no trimming or front bumper removed)

The wheels will fit yes but will depend on tyre size on how much you need to trim
31" on stock box is a bad idea and with 2" lift will mean ALOT oof trimming
Best way is to find a members truck you like and ask them about there mods

This be the kinda truck I want it to look like, but don't know what wheels they are or where to get them, and can't seem to be able to email the guys because his username can't be found apparently lol
