yes and easily twisted by hand

Looking good! As for the tyres I'm currently running 215/75 r15 Hankook MTs with no lift. They're mounted to 7x15 steels wheels which have no offset, so far no rubbing, no cutting or arch trimming. The only thing I had to do was remove the original fit mud flaps.

The wheels and tyres fill the arches nicely but don't protrude beyond the actual arches so no worries come MOT time - if you're unlucky enough to have to deal with such things. Not the best pictures but this is a during and after the swap.




Hope this helps with your tyres

Thanks Eskimo - most likely I'll go for the 205/70 size, but second and third option is 205/75 and 215/75.
Anyway.... hard to choose. There are better options at 215/75 than the standard size.

Does anyone has the measurements of the below roof rack?
I've found only the generic specs and I'm interested into a DIY project.

Meanwhile:

- used almost on daily basis for comuting (avg. fuel consumption 7l/100km)

- just discovered that my Jimny was having 3x4 tentative transmision .... to be more precise, the vacuum hoses on the left wheel were reversed, therfore when engaging 4x4H the right hub got engaged, while the left one got disconnected (and in reverse when switching to 2x4h)....

- completed the roof rack that it's waiting for some good weather and be installed.

- fitted Bridgestone 001 AT tyres, replacing the winter tyres - there is a notable improvement in wet/mud use.

- fitted double din player (Clarion CX501 - MP3, IPOD, CD, Radio and Bluetooth Phone & Audio) - I'm very pleased

Story goes on....

Lovely weather:

Very picturesque.

It was plenty of fresh snow on a ~30km mountain road.

The thing with snow is that it is very nice when it happens to other people!
