Szabi's Jimny

Hi Daniel30,

Thank you for the answer.

I used the good old Turtle Wax (still have my Ford Owners club card...15% off in Halfords )

Yep, I checked the Wiki section, but I couldn't find the offset related stuff.... possible I am just blind. So you think with 205 the -25 offset gonna fit... sounds promising. I don't like this alloy wheels.

Looks nice and shiny!

On a 15 x 7 modular -25 will be fine, I ran 205/75/15 General grabber AT great tyre in my opinion.

The ones you posted a picture of are 8x15 so I can't comment on them

215/75/15 will be ok with no lift but with the offset rims will probly touch the rear arches on compression.
I will add a photo of mine compressed at the rear. Same size as the 215/15 but on standard rims.
It gets very close, add an inch or so of offset it would probly catch the rear arches.

Hi Szabi,

If I were you I would choose this
www.oponeo.co.uk/alloy-wheel-detail/dotz...bOvNQCFUlsGwodSTEDWw
with this
www.4x4tyres.co.uk/195-80-15-kumho-road-...nPvNQCFUccGwod-HINjg

I have them without any issue.

215/75 will fit but once it's got mud it will catch the wheel arch so it's a no-no.

Finally, after a few months of saving and getting a part time job, time to transform the little Jimny.

In Stage 1, I am going to get replaced the right side king pin bearing, get new oil in the diffs and getting a Rough Country steering dumper on it.

I also ordered the TrailMaster 2 inch kit this morning from Martin (million thanks for his help and answering my thousand questions). I need to find some place , who can fit the lift kit in West London (anyone, any suggestion?!), my usual local garage a little bit old school and they not really keen to fit the kit.

Also, I am still on the wheel chase. I think I am going to go the Goodrich AT tyres in 215/75/15. I just need some steel rims with minimum -5 offset.

Anyone can help me out with wheel offset advise.

So the car is going to get a 2 inch TrailMaster kit. I am thinking on to get some 215/75-15 AT tyres. What is the maximum offset, what can fit without any trimming?

I used to have 215/75r15 BFG ATs and they were fine until i fitted 30mm spacers, which caused rubbing at the front and back of front arches. back were fine. i would think any offset would probably need some trimming.

From what I heard it is not recommended to go beyond -10 on the offset on the rims. 215/75R15can go on but once you start going offroad getting the axle into different angles, it might ruba little on the inside. You can cut a little off the wheelwell cover inside to alleviate the problem. A 2" lift will take care of the problem good enough. BTW, congrats on the purchase, and silver is a great looking color. We can't get silver here anymore sadly.

Thank you for the help guys. Looks like, I am going to go with the -7 and maybe stick with the 205 tyres.

Ok, I need some help again

So, I am gonna get General Grabber AT3-s in 205/75/15 with -7 offset steel rims. I have 2nd ten front bumper, so I need some guidance about trimming (the car will have 2 inch lift). I want to keep my front fog lights. Anyone trimmed this type of bumper? How much do I need to chop off?

With a 2" lift probly no trimming necessary.

Postman visited me today.

Thanks for Martin for the speedy action and for the service recommendation.

Also my Rough Country damper unit turned up this morning. Only the wheels/front bumper question have to be sorted and new tyres or wheels need to be ordered.
