Yeah they sit fine on the rims, I wouldn't want them on anything much wider to be honest.

I didn't expect them to come from Germany! oponeo.co.uk is the site I got them from because they were £105 each delivered, at least £5 cheaper than anwhere else. When I tracked the parcel I found out they were on their way from Germany!

The standard horn on the Jimny is a bit meh, so not wanting to go down the route of air horns I have upgraded to a pair of Hellas.

Now it sounds like a normal car rather than a toy one!

40mm spacer lift solved this for me. I have 215/80R15's which are slightly bigger.
