I've noticed on Jimny Bits website, whilst looking at wheels these spacers that convert the PCD to Land Rover PCD. www.jimnybits.com/wheels-and-tyres/suzuk...spacer-adapters.html

They are 30mm spacers.

So this made me look at Land Rover wheels, but not any old Land Rover wheels! I looked up these steel Mach 5 copies: www.devon4x4.com/challenger-steel-wheel-7x16-gloss-black.html

They are -25mm offset. Which means with the spacers they are 5mm offset. That happens to be the standard Jimny offset.

So you can run these cool wheels and they'll have the standard offset!

The only barrier seems to be the cost! £162.54 + Postage for the spacers and 4 x £96.58 + Postage for the for the wheels and you need to sort out Land Rover wheel nuts too.

Don't forget to factor in the cost of getting a new set of 16" tyres... ;)
