When my wide wheels didn't fit I got a set of old stock steel wheels (for free from cameronmike on here) and had them shotblasted and painted black. It wasn't cheap but the end result is awesome, and I reckon they look better than what I had before.

Busta - that looks awesome. I think if I were to replace my 2004 with a newer Jimny I would do what you have done there. Have you done any other modifications?

2004 Jimny Mode: General Grabber AT3s (215/75/R15); Trailmaster 2" Lift; Jimnybits Snorkel; Jimnybits Front and Rear Recovery Points; Suntop Roof Rack; AVM Manual Hubs; Stainless Steel Exhaust System (SOLD)

no worries then. The 3" Trail Master springs are in reality only 2" longer than stock springs

The same. Trail Master 3" springs are 368 mm free length. Same goes for 2" petrol springs. 2" diesel springs are 353 mm free length. 3" and 2" diesel springs are made of 13mm wire. Petrol springs are made of 12mm wire.

Standard Jimny front springs are 330 mm free length. So it's actually more like 1.5" shorter than TM springs.
