Modular wheels on standard Jimny was created by PinkGorilla
Hello everyone. I'm very close to buying a Jimny, think I've got a good one local. Anyway upon purchase my first addition I'd like to be a set of chunkier tyres and some modular wheels. Ideally I want silver wheels as the jimny is blue and silver two tone so black won't suit.
I'd rather keep the jimny reasonably standard other than the wheels so no suspension or body lifts. my question (and I know it's probably been asked numerous times but I can't seem to find an exact answer to it) is...
What size/offset of modular wheels do I need to get and what's the best size tyre ?
I'd ideally like the wheels to give a better stance to the jimny, I've attached a picture of one I see on eBay just now (apologies if it's anyone on here's picture I've stolen) which has the exact sort of look I'd like to achieve!

Wonderful, thank you Jack. With -30 offset 15x7 wheels and the 205 75 15 tyres I won't have any issues at all?

unless you're fitting a retread tyre with aggressive tread like malatesta kaiman's

Many thanks guys, great help as always. Fancy a set of they general grabber tyres maybe. That is almost exactly the way I want mines to look Daniel just it'll be blue and silver with the silver wheels.
