Bought a Jimny!

All the soft tops are fitted with the MK1 bumper so the 195/80/should be ok.


Yes I know my jimny has got a 2"lift fitted, but I had 205/75/15 fitted with just 1.5 spring spacer for a long time with no rubbing.


If you need 195/80/15 KL 71 here are some places to get them

thanks dirtydogz!

Love the look of your jimny, i have some lights with a roof bar which im going to try and fit. Had a look at your thread with how you did it so might do the same

Horrid words but if you're daily driving it does matter! Just for info, I got ~34mpg on the worn out Duellers that came on my Jimny, ~29mpg on KL71s (195/80) and ~32mpg on Geolandar AT-S (205/70). I didn't keep the KL71s for long as at least 2/3rds of my commute is 50mph dual carriageway and the Jimny felt dog slow on them - like driving in treacle! That said, I know lots of people on here love them so I won't moan about them too much I just found ATs better for my commute - almost indistinguishable from the Duellers on the road and still laughed off last year's snow. I guess it depends how many miles and what sort of roads you use really (and how much offroading you'll be doing)...

Love the rag tops! We dont get them here. Enjoy it!

Same here. With the standard Duellers I got around 35mpg, but 215 AT's get me about 30! But it's good to know that so far, nothing has stopped them.

SO been driving her for a week now and loving it! Had the roof down too (only the front bit though).

Just wondering if someone can help me, im after a set of these...

Thanks guys!

You have steels at the moment - yes??? As far as I know they should be fine. I look for the 60° taper.

how she is at the moment! got new steelies, wind deflectors, took the chrome S off the grille, and halfway through taking of some of the O2 badges etc.

Got a problem with steering wobble, got a feeling it could be the kingpins =/

What wheel nuts did you decide on?

i just got them from the same company as I got the wheels from, just wondering if theres locking wheel nuts available for them, but doubting it

If you got a set of locking nut with the alloys just use them. that's what I use on my modulars.

Why not get a set of lockers off ebay??
