What to do was created by Chriscov1988
I had alloys on the jimny and it looked like this:
The alloys where good but the tyres were too worn.
The trouble I have is the other wheels and tyres i have are good but look tiny:
The tyres are kumhos kl71s and are good but I think it looks ridiculous.
What are people's opinions on what I should do? Dunno if I can really spend any more on it this month. It's cost me a small fortune already.

hahaha your right it dose look daft if your running spring spacers take them out untill you can get new tyres and the rubber you used to widen the arches and if its going to take a while to get new tyres and your running a body lift take that off aswell.......... if your cars lower your tyre wont look as small i know its a faff but if its going to take a while then it may be worth it

standardish size wheels on a big lift will always look [strike]silly[/strike] odd
either
put the alloys back on for the moment
Take the kuhmos off the rims and sell them and use the funds generated to buy some bigger tyres from ebay for the steel wheels
or
if you dont want to keep the alloys fit the big tyres off the alloys to the steelies and sell the alloys as one lot and the kuhmos as another - you should get more money selling the wheels and tyres as two seperate lots

Think I might sell them and try and get some more because they look ridiculous at the moment.
They aren't small tyres but I think it's got 7" of lift on the rear and 5" on the front.
Can anyone guess the size of the alloys so I can get some ideas of prices?

Recently I went and loaded 50 bricks and 10 blocks in the back of my jimny. It was very low with so much weight in the back it actually looked rather cool. Perhaps you should put the decent tyres on with bricks in the boot so not too high until you can buy some new ones? :lol:
