i don't want to buy twice the 215/80 around 30" is what i'd like
and 750<or> 32" will need trimming i'm sure
will be buying new NO re treads this time
add: 30/9.5/15 29"
but i do like the 70's pram look
I think the 750 32" size is what Brett/maverick runs on jalapeno. Gets away with the height (useful) as they are narrow (70's look), therefore they seem to perform pretty well. You would need to ask him about lift and/or rubbing tho

I have recently installed a 2" trailmaster lift and just got a set of 215/75/R15 General Grabber AT3s fitted this afternoon (2004 Jimny). I'm running 7.5" wide steel wheels and from reading this thread it seemed the jury was out on whether the 215s might scrub or not.
Unfortunately, pulling into the petrol station on my way back from the garage I went over a very minor dip in the road and both front tyres scrubbed
If I replace my wide wheels with stock steelies will this solve my problems? And will the 215s fit the wheels fine? Where is it on the arch that the scrubbing usually happens? These things never go smoothly haha!
Thanks in advance!

as for where yours are rubbing just let them catch a few more times
and it will become evident
then make a decision to trim or not

I'm the owner of a 2017 Jimny, all stock, trying to get good mods for it!
About tyres, I saw a lot of people putting 215/75/15 and I always wonder about performance.
I agree most of Mud tyres are on this size and the extra clearance will be an advantage but how about off road usage?
I take for granted on road the car will be slower, just for the extra weight and size but I'm interested about sluggishness, slowness during offroad.
Is 215 good for that or although extra clearance, everything else will be worse? climb slopes? will be the 4W-L too long?
thanks in advance!

Mine had 215 BFGs on when i bought it, so i dont have any real comparison to the standard size, but this link should give you some idea what the change will be:
tiresize.com/tyre-size-calculator/
You can then start to look at changing the gearing with grimjeeper.com (all the gearing stats are in the wiki on this fine site )
