Hey mate,
My rim's are "Dynamic's" 15x8 -22...they are not the cheapest of steelies...they are about $130 each,but worth the coin cus they are much better quality than the 'cheaper' sunnies. The Dynamic's are also made in AUS
I got the rim's through Perth 4x4....

do you still have standard transfer box if yes
look into buying a rock lobster
and keep the 33's

I'm trying to avoid lifting for the first 3 years I have the car, otherwise I will void the guarantee, but I really want to stick wheels out a bit from Guards to add stability and a better look since Jimny is a bit narrow in my opinion...I live in Panama, so it's not ilegal to have tires sticking out beyond guards here...I'd basically like if anyone here knows how big/wide I can get with the New 2019 Suzuki Jimny, without lifting, I can add Spacers if necassary...Hopefully someone can help me out here, thanks.

Also I would expect gearing changes to be needed for those size tyres (new jimny has the same gear ratios as the current one). Body trimming, body lift and suspension lift may also be needed most likley.
215/75r15 or an equivalent wider but no taller is about as much as you can go with standard gearing and still have some performance.
have a look here to compare tyre sizes:

and here for the gearing specs:
