5.9% bigger, so yes but only just

Given the cars are so similar, suitable tyres will be no different to those widely discussed for the gen3. BFG All- and Mud-terrains, Yokohama Geolanders, Goodyear Wranglers, Toyo Open Country, Kumho KL71s all offer different levels of aggressiveness and cover a variety of price points.

Sizing wise, 195/80r15 or 215/75r15 will preserve good road manners and keep gearing standard. However, looking at pictures there's a good chance 235/75r15s will fit without issue. They are a much more popular tyre size amongst 4x4s which opens up a wider choice of tyres, often cheaper than their smaller equivalents.

235's don't fit without a lift. Biggest that fits without rubbing is 215/80R15

I have some rubbing in my stock Jimny with 215/75R15 and Hankook RF10s. Luckily only when four persons in the car and driving to potholes.

Is that a Gen3 car though? Gen4s seem a bit roomier in the arches.

Interesting. I assumed from the pictures that there is much more room in the arches than the Gen3 but it appears not!

Yeah, it's 3gen. Forgot to mention that. Many say that this size is ok for 3gen, but seems that not exactly true if the tire is more aggresive.
