I am thinking about making a change of wheels on my 'standard' set up Jimny fitted at present with Brembo rims.

Will a rim marked 7J fit with standard tyres 205 x 70 x 15 ie is this 'offset' ok :unsure:

205 on a 7 inch rim is stretching it a bit!

The 7 relates to the width of the wheel as measured between the inside edges of the rim upstand. J relates to the shape of the upstand that the bead of the tyre sits on. What you need to know is the 'et' value of the wheel as that is the offset or inset, it is the distance between the mounting face of the wheel and it's centre line viewed end on. Negative offset is the face to the inside of the centre line positive is to the outside of the centre line. The more negative the more the wheel protrusion from the arch, good for stability bad for wheel bearings and mot.
