Nice one mate, yes a steering damper will help a little with the wheel wobble.

Looks superb.... May get pulled over as the wheels stick out from the arch though!

Thanks for the pics guy...the jeep looks great. I was thinking it would've looked a little small but they look the part, well done.

Thanks for the comments guys....

Really chuft with just how well the 215's look with the 1,5" lift and spacers.

Have found that it slows the jimny down a wee bit on hills... Having to change down to fourth a bit sooner... And quite a bit of steering/ steering wheel wobble... Think it may well be a balancing issue though....

Also to note, I've had to file down a bit of the wheel arch on passengers side as its rubbing on half - 3/4 lock right.

Looks great with those wheels and the 215/75 tyres, they are the same wheels I'm considering getting but they do stick out more than I thought they would do you also have spacers fitted.
