I didn't remove the mud flaps to fit my 215s

I didn't have to either when I fitted 195/80/15 KL71s to my standard(ish) Jimny runaround - I did however have to remove them when I installed 32mm wheel spacers as well and a 2" lift.

Ah ok! I had to remove the front mudflaps to fit 215s but it would seem this isn't always the case then!
