The only problem I have with fitting 33" is that when I'm driving on the road it tends to pull a lot anything I can do to stop that?

Hi, do you have any pictures of the trimming you have done?

Cheers

Hi guys, I'm fairly new to the Jimny, but I have a 2019 Jimny reserved, will have it by December...I really wanted to know if anyone knows the biggest/widest tire size that can be used on the new Jimny, since it looks slightly bigger than older models...Any chance I could fit 31x10.50R15 tires with just some 2" Spacers and no lifting, or at least 30x9.50R15 Tires with Spacers and no lifting?...These are the sizes I'd like to have on the Jimny without lifting, but I'm aware that maybe I can't without lifting...Although the new Jimny seemed to have a lot of extra room under guards as opposed to the older smaller Jimny models.

I'm trying to avoid lifting for the first 3 years I have the car, otherwise I will void the guarantee, but I really want to stick wheels out a bit from Guards to add stability and a better look since Jimny is a bit narrow in my opinion...I live in Panama, so it's not ilegal to have tires sticking out beyond guards here...I'd basically like if anyone here knows how big/wide I can get with the New 2019 Suzuki Jimny, without lifting, I can add Spacers if necassary...Hopefully someone can help me out here, thanks.

I doubt anyone here in the UK will know, maybe member zukebob would be the most likley to know (in the Philippines i think)

Also I would expect gearing changes to be needed for those size tyres (new jimny has the same gear ratios as the current one). Body trimming, body lift and suspension lift may also be needed most likley.

215/75r15 or an equivalent wider but no taller is about as much as you can go with standard gearing and still have some performance.

have a look here to compare tyre sizes:

Do you think if you increased the offset you would have enough clearance to clear the front bar or would it still need trimming just curious as I am trying to avoid trimming
