Hi! Just need a little help po on my stock 2015 jimny.

I have with me a set of 18x8 rims with an offset of +38. I’m eyeing on putting on a size 235/55/R18 tires.

Will I encounter a problem mounting them on my jimny? Like tire rubbing inside the wheel wells, shocks, shock mountings or even with the brakes assemblies?

I will be not be using it for trails. If I do I would just use the stock ones as alternative.

Thanks so much.

Short answer no they won't fit. Long answer they are overall taller and wider in tyre size and the wheels will be so far inside the arches that they will not have room to steer. Unless you are having to use stud pattern adapter spacers which might possibly help the offset the 38 of the wheels.
