I also found an empty car park than had been ploughed and had big snow banks to play on! I was too busy having fun to take photos but I took a photo once i got home - quite a lot of slush thrown up from the front wheels on to the rear arches! To mudflap or not to mudflap, that is the question?! I quite like the slush spattered look!


I had the Suzuki mud flaps fitted (Red ones for the looks), they make no difference at all to the splatter on the rear arches.


Thanks - I won't waste my money on them then!

Plus the dealerships here charge 3 hours labour to fit them.

Much like the version it replaced, this Jimny has a tendency to look like a 'hairdresser car' (think Audi TT v1, etc) with the stock tyres fitted, definitely not what you're wanting (unless you're a hairdresser :P )

You think you'll fit another size up without any chopping (235/75/15)?


215/80R15's just clear. 235/75R15 fit but they rub on turning. The arches are not quite as big as they look. :(
