New jimny was created by jfkenpoman
Ok so we have now got our new jimny, in royal blue, I will be looking to upgrade suspension with a 2" kit. On my last jimny I fitted steel modular s with 215/75 bfg a/t tyres, the wheels had an offset of 7. I think. What offset wheels will I need for the new jimny. I hope to run either 205 or 215 tyres.

15x7 rims are as wide as you an go without some offset. Jimnybits do some with a -15 offset which is ideal.

215/75r15 tyres is all i can comment on, but on standard wheels with no offset they worked fine and didnt catch, as soon as i added some 30mm spacers (e.g. -30mm offset), the front tyres caught on the bumper and arch trims near the bottoms. This is on a 2007 jimny.

Is that your new jimny in the picture
If you're not putting a lift on it then 215/75/15 with 0 off set wheels
If you're going to lift it 2" then 215/75/15 with -30 off set will fit

thanks Riccy, I knew the offsets were slightly different than on my previous jimny which was an 03 plate. i will not want to go any bigger than 215 tyres
