but still i have a question;
will road pattern 215/80/15's fit between the arches of a standard jimny?
i dont do any "off roading" i just drive in fields, on cart tracks and most importantly in snow. the standard jim is capable of far more than i will use it for.
its not my daily drive or used for long journeys.
so im not to worried about loosing a little articulation, i just need a little more height.

We run 215x80xr15 Diamond Back Mud Tyres, and those babies are almost 30" tall due to them having 18mm treadblocks.
Even with a 2" suspension lift, then catch the outer edge of the bumpers and will touch the inner wing on full compression.
Weve cut 2" off the rear bumper, and also just fitted a 2" body lift to stop the tyres from bottoming out.
I think you will struggle with standard suspension to be honest if you plan on running any agressive tread pattern.
My Father has a standard Jimny, and I plan on getting him some 215x75 BGF AT/2's
Ive just found a picture of the 215's against the standard 205's. ok, it has a +2" suspension lift, but you can see the tyre size difference

The GV would be the holy grail, but in the mean time, the fourtrax rims will be fine, just need a set of insas to go with them!!
