Re:New Gen Jimny Tyre size

Does anyone know what's the max tyre size the new gen Jimny can go?
without lifting and still sticking with the stock rim which come with the car.
Everyone is saying 215/75r15 but that does not do much to the lift of the car, it is just a slightly wider tyre.
Anyone mind helping here?
Thanks!!

If you want more clearance then new rims and a lift is the way to go, but then you start getting into the realms of needing to alter gearing to match.

If that is not enough then I'm gonna use a new ( used ) Jimny steel wheels with the original tires until I have done some proper modifications.

That wide surface area and low weight will make it very hairy.
Be careful in the wet and at high speed.

Found this online today guys as I’m looking to go to a set of 215/75/15. It suggests that the standard 5.5 inch rim wouldn’t be suitable for that width of tyre. Makes sense particularly when you’ve aired down. Is this rubbish? What do you guys think?
It suggests that the standard rim 5.5 inches can run a max 195 width tyre. To safely run a 215 width tyre you’d need a 7” rim. (Apparently)

The increase in tyre width is less than an inch, remember. Certainly my 215/75/15s are quite happy on my standard rims.
