Tyres on a lifted jimny

Hi, I'm knew to the 4x4 scene but am picking up my 51 plate jimny on the weekend and am planning on a 3" suspension lift. It has the standard jimny wheels and I was wondering with a 3" lift what size mud terrain tyres could I use?

Thanks in advance, alex

I have a 3" Spring Lift and use 16 x 7.50 x 205 LR Tyres (about 31" diameter) on 16" GV Steel Rims

that seems far to big 205-75-16 are only 28'' even special traks wouldnt gain you 4''
i have 265-75-16 dakars and they are spot on 32'

hi iv got a 3"spring n shock lift and running special traks 235x75x15 they rub front wheel arch when very crossed up only a little tho n its a little im doin 1.5" body lift kit after xmass then she will not rub sorted !
note specail traks come out little bigger that a standed 235x75x15 as have little more tread deth they come out just over 31"

215/75/15 or 235/75/15 but with the lager of the two tyres you will need to trim the front bumper.

I agree i have 215/75/r15 on mine with a 3 inch lift, all is well, but any larger and the trimming or a body lift would help ! Im still gona trim my bumpers !

i agree i run 205/80/16 and thay only come out at 29"

Im running standard steelies are fitted with khumos 235/75/15 with a 3 inch lift and no triming of the bumpers was needed. I did initially get a 2 inch lift, but they were clearly to big so Russ at jimnybits swopped the kit for me and it looks and runs pretty good. Hasn't affected the gearing a great deal either, can cope with it for the moment

215 80 15 on 3" lift little trim lol

i have just measured my tyres and they are deffo 31 inches in diameter ... and YES (of course) standard inner/outer arches have been trimmed and inner seams bashed back ... they only rub under duress (full articluation)!!

im geting confused are your tyres 205/75/16 or 7.50/16 if there 7.50/16 then that 31" 205/80/16 are 29"

i bought them from here ... when new they were close to 32" across ...

Tyres say on the side that they are 205x7.50x16
