Thanks. I wondered if they were 6x15
The reason I ask is because I have 6" rims and want to put 215s on them. The opinion seems very mixed as 6" is borderline maximum but I like the rims to be well recessed in case I catch them when climbing kerbs or such.

Do it right - use Hammerite
When the blue light is flashing I am kidding.

This is mine with 2.5" lift and Kumho 215/75 MT's on 15x7 -20 modular rims. First drive after welding, rustproofing and making a nudge bar (also cutting half of the bumper).

215's are max I'd go for a daily driver without messing with t-case ratios different diffs.

Mraz, if 215/75s is the max to go to without work, is it ok to fit 30mm spacers - still without any work? I want it to look chunky, but it will be to use for daily work, and I don't want to get into ratios affecting drive, nor cutting any bodywork. Did your 2.5" lift mean you had to change bits like panhard rods? From my little bit of reading, it seems 2" is the max to go to before you start changing stuff.

With 2" lift 215/75/15 will be fine with spacers.

Mine were rubbing the bumper on full lock so I had to trim it a bit but not much. But this Kumho MT's are noticabely larger than my winter 215 tires (wich are romoulds and usually largar than they should be). Panhards don't really need to be changed but any lift will pull them to the side, so you'r wheels will not be centered. I made mine adjustable with a little help from lathe and some welding. I'm a bit OCD when it comes to things like that :)

11/60 says the price for these wheels may be silly, so what are my options? Is there a website that lists all the wheels that will fit a Jimny, or is that too much to ask? If I go for a silver Jimny, then I think silver wheels would be best. I don't mind lashing out for alloys, but the websites I've tried, well, I don't trust them, as they seem very poor - either listing only 4 wheels (when I want 5) and asking weird questions like the power output of the engine!?! A couple even said that there aren't any wheels for a Jimny!

Racing innovations do a Mach 5 style wheel for the jimny they look nice.

They were £85.00 each when I spoke to him last year in silver £20 extra for a colour :)
