"Mild" off-road plans for Jimny commuting and playing - Opinions welcome :)

Thanks Daniel,

Does it hit the arch as the suspension compresses then (especially with front wheel not in the straight-ahead position), or is the suspension arc just right to take it inboard?

If it hits, I may have to consider the 2" lift earlier (I assume that will help the wheel arc miss the arch), or stick with 0 offset...

Tyre tread protrusion is more a C&U issue...not an MOT fail item....Police can issue a dangerous condition notice if they feel so inclined.

So are the mods fitted yet?

it will catch the arch without the lift but i would get the wheels first and see how you go if its mild green laying you might be ok i went to a pay and play site before i had the lift and it was pretty good only rubbed a couple of times

nice pics

Thanks guys,

I need to have a good look at (and measure of) the arches as they are now, and the current tyres to see whether to stick with the standard offsets (although the extra stability will probably be welcome, especially once lifted. I haven't tried green laning, but the small areas on Wagtail already exercise the wheel articulation (moderate example below), and I haven't really planned to start hacking the arches about...



I had to google "C&U" I suspected it was more about spray and subjective opinions of "dangerous".

Whichever way I decide, I may end up with a barely-used set of modular wheels for sale on here, when I realise I really wanted the other ones Or, I get the tyres fitted to the standard wheels (I assume they are the same as the modulars in overall shape, and then I can see whether the 30mm offset would work.

I want to go for another off-road play at the end of October, and would like new tyres for then, to see how they do before adding the lift kit.

Hi Nick, spray suppression is an area I specialise in....not many want to sit behind me on a wet day.....I'm highly in the illegal/legal grey area as my bodykit leaves around 2/3rds of my tyre showing and huge plumes of spray behind me!

I know what you mean.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
