Re:Finding Aftermarket Rims

Big hello to my Jimny Family

i need your help on finding some options for aftermarket rims for my JB74. What are the brands out there selling 16” rims for the JB74. I don’t want the fitted rims to stick out beyond the fenders so I need to correct width and offset. 
The problem is I bought a set of Raceline rims last week, 16x8 with 0 offset and it still sticks out beyond my fenders, so I am returning them. 

I want to go 16s, so what width and offset do I need to achieve what I stated earlier?

the one in the link is what I am returning. 

Awaiting your expert response

The offset is going to be determined by the width of the rim you choose - you can choose any width (within reason) and then work out the offset you need - the OEM rims are a 5.5 x 15 with an offset of 5mm, you could choose a 5.5 x 16 with an offset of 5mm and they would sit in exactly the same place relative to the fender.

How wide a rim do you want/need?

Look at jimny style.
Most of their aftermarket rims are for jimnies specific.

You should get an offset of -5, as that is the standard offset.

On tyre selection you will see all their options in offset.

Offset is not determined by width. Offset is determined the value of central section of rim in relation to the outside rim


In this case all 3 rims same width, but all 3 have different offsets.

All Jimny factory wheels are positive 5mm offset or et5.

The wider the tyre (205 x 215 v 225 etc) will determine how far out it will stick out and therefore determine the offset. As others have already said Jimny Style have a good guide and some photos of their own JB74 on 16" rims with BFGs, one of their links shown below.

The following link has a great table of offsets and tyre sizes for different tyre widths, so this might help.

If you go 16" wheels and fairly wide tyres, check that they will fit without a suspension lift, unless you are already lifting the vehicle. Jimny Style page shows what will fit without a lift kit.
