Wheels

New wheels and tyres fitted. Definatly bigger than the ones that came off.

The new wheels are 6J x15's where as standard Jimny wheels I think are 5.5J x15's so should beable to go a little wider when I need new tyres.

Having run a few miles with the new tyres / wheels and using our Tomtom to calibrate the difference in the speedo, it turns out that the speedo is spot on and only 1mph out @ 60mph !!..
the wheels and tyres that came off (205x70x15's) were reasing 6 mph on average slower than the GPS readings, so as it transpires the new wheels and tires actually work quite well.
Clearance is about 35mm between all bodywork on full and compressed suspension and axel articulation.

Lift Kit comming on Wed, Going to see about booking the Jimny to have th elift and a full service in Newbury 4x4 centre later thsi week.
Pix to follow

Sounds like a plan then!!! I bet your excited!!!

I have a Tom Tom and have often looked at the speed on it compared to the speedo on my Escort and the speedo shows about 4 MPH faster than the Tom Tom at most speeds - they never agree. I call my partner Lindz Little Miss Dangerous as she always does the most dangerous way of doing things and hunts the most dangerous way out - so naturally when on the motorway, you can guess which she belives! Especially past speed cameras - cos the Sat Nav said it was OK Officer!!!

In my Jimny with the slightly bigger tyres the speedo and the Sat Nav agree like yours but I've never tried my Sat Nav with a standard Jimny. Lindz Mum has a Garmin Sat nav and a standard Jimny though, so I'll ask her what the speed difference is.

Have fun!!!
