New Jimny Wheel Package - thoughts?

Hi all,
My first post.
My Silky SIlver SZ5 is apparently en-route to Europe on a big boat to me hopefully early June, but from reading comments on here who knows!
Anyway, my question is this:
I have seen this Wheel tyre combo from Buzz Vehicles, they would'nt tell me on phone the tyre/alloy size as they said its exclusive to them!
www.buzzspecialvehicles.co.uk/collection...package-2018-current
They quoted around £1500 for 5 alloys and tyres.
I zoomed up the tyre and can see 235/70 R16, they are BFG K02 i think? So alloy must be 16 x 8 I assume also?
I cannot find this alloy wheel design from any other seller.
My main concern would be rubbing/speedo accuracy/weight.
I just wondered what the Forums thoughts were, if anyone else had spotted this package and considered it.
My original plan was just to change to 215/75 K02s on the original alloys to beef it up a bit until I saw these.
Any comments welcome and ill post pics when it arrives.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum. I remember seeing these at the indoor 4x4 show in February. They said they were getting the rims out of America off something but wouldn't elaborate beyond that. I did have a bit of a look what they might be off but couldn't find anything that matched so they could be a bit custom. It's the centre bore that is the most obvious discrepancy, the stud pattern is relatively common. They are not an ugly wheel but I wouldn't give 1500 quid even with the bfg ko2.

Hello and welcome,

Im no expert, but they look mighty large. Might mess up the gearing and void warrenty, but there are much more experienced forum members who will know more.

Hope u get your jimny soon though bud.

235/70x16 is 2245 O/D

215/75x15 is 2144 O/D

205/70x15 is 2040 O/D

As you can see, you are changing the gearing significantly.

I wouldn't run bigger than 215's without a gearing change, some do......

Don't forget that all tyre manufacturers might use the same size nomenclature but they all seem to apply it arbitrarily. Mathematically speaking a 215.75r15 should be 704mm diameter but there can be more than 5mm either way actual discrepancy between different makes and models of tyre, some are even worse.

I much prefer the stock SZ5 alloys to those. Save yourself a grand and get 215/75R15 BFGs fitted to the stock wheels.
