will a 3 inch lift with 215/75/15 tyres look to small?

Good Morning
I am looking at fitting a 2 or 3 inch lift kit to my Jimny. the 3 inch kit is cheaper for some reason.
I currently have 215/75/15 Insa Sahara 2 tyres on. my worry is will it look like it has skipped leg day with a 3 inch lift?

Also weird fact.
I bought 4 off 215/75/15 Insa Sahara 2 tyres off EBay, second hand but like brand new. I was looking to buy a spare, so I looked on 4x4tyres.com. On the website it showed 215/75/15 Insa Sahara 2 and just 215/75/15 Insa Sahara's. The tread pattern was the same but the 2's where a little cheaper.
I rang them to ask what the difference was. The very helpful lady on the phone then rang Insa and confirmed the difference was, the 2's where a little larger, 15mm rings a bell. she said the manufactures have leeway with the sizes.

so yeh.... Insa Sahara 2's and normal 215/75/15 Insa Sahara's are different sizes but no different tread pattern etc.

i would really appreciate if anybody who has any pictures or their car with 215/75/15's and a 3 inch lift would post them in this thread.

thank you

195/80/15 which are very similar size height wise

They do look a bit small but no chance of catching anything

No sorry bigger tyres on now
This one on ramps are 195/80 but not the best angle


Also remember if you go any bigger than 215/75 it will impact on the gearing
