max tyre size for 3" lift

sorry if this is a dumb a$$ question but will 235/75/15's go on the standard jimny rims ok?

I dont think so. the max tyres I believe on the standard 5.5Jx15 wheels is 205.
We have 6J wheels fitted with 215's and I think were close to the limit of these.

There are a number of tyre related sites on the web but there seems to be some differences between what can and cannot be fitted.

here is a good site with loads of tyre and wheel info

ok, thanks for that, i think i'll go for the 16" rims with 205/80's on, just need to pick up some cheapish rims somewhere.

cheers to all who replied, another happy customer

hi iv had 31/10.50/15 on std rims and just a 2and a half inch lift rubed a bit but with the 2 inch body lift was fine at the moment iv got 235/75/15 on std rims 2inch lift and a 2 inch body lift i think this is the best set up 4 me any way nice on the road and still the same off road the biger lift and tyers wear not nice on the road and its not that ,mutch difrent offroad

still havnt actually got to grips with the non metric tyre sizes ..
Very interesting to know about the max tyres fitted to standard rims and the lifts involved.

Where did you 235/75/15's rub baz, before the body lift and was your front bumper cut down at all?

I was under the impression that they would rub without front arch and bumper mods and see from the picture of yours that your front bumper is cut down on the bottom, which is where I can see most of the rubbing occurring.

The 235/75/15's are about 8.5mm bigger in diameter than my 215/80/15's and obviously 20mm wider. So that's 4.25mm closer to the front bumper and 10mm closer to the wheel arch. I've not much cleance to the bumper with my slightly worn 215/80/15's as it is so new tyres + 4.25mm might be 4.25 mm too much!!!

Does anyone know the definitive answer from personal experience if a 235/75/15 will fit on a 3 inch lifted Jimny with no arch or bumper mods without rubbing during heavy off road use???
