Rubbing after changing wheels

I just treated my jimny to a new set of wheels and tyres. It was previously running on standard 15" alloys with BFG 235/75. I went with the black steel wheels from jimnybits with the -15 offset and they are rubbing now due to the more aggressive offset which I was getting away with on the previous alloys.

What'a the best solution? I'm thinking of a suspension lift, but not sure if it will need extended brake lines, steering mod etc. If i could get away with just the lift I'd do it myself. Wheel arch trimming doesn't appeal to me either. I don't have the tools or experience for it and afraid I'd make a complete mess of it.

Edit: It already has a 2" bodylift which is why I'm thinking extended brake lines and steering extension might be required.







Any advice appreciated.

That looks really nice!! I love the blue, it seems to be a deeper blue than on the gen 4. Yes.... i really like that blue!

Sorry to jump in on your thread, but just wanted to say how killer your jimny looks.

Edit: yes, the wheels and tyres look awesome!
Congrats on a really pucker jimny buddy.

Thanks Andy! It really does look great and the kids love it!

As I see it you have a couple of options, factory wheels? Or more lift. Like you said more lift will have to include longer brake pipes because of the existing lift as a definite. It is also going mean that your wheels might look a little lost in the arches with 4 inches of lift. Hmm I would look long and hard at what is catching and how much would need clearancing.

Where's catching?

Bottom of the wheel arch behind the front wheels. I reckon the rear might catch too with any off roading although I haven't had it off road since the new wheels went on.
