7" rims are to wide for 215's. Not sure if you can get 6" wide rim's, but if you can look for a rim with a slightly negative off-set NOT positive. You want to increase you track width after lifting a 4wd :wink:

-VE offset will push the wheel out from the car giving a wider wheel track, +VE offset will bring them in reducing the wheel track.

-VE is the one that you are after, particularly if you are lifting the car. -13 is a pretty common offset to works well on the Jimny. But as monley said, 7" is too wide so stick with the stock unless your changing it for looks

I have 15 x 6 with close to 0 offset (+3 I think) and 217/75's. No clashed with steering and no scrubbing.

Don't forget those rims you have are a different shape at the back compared to a steel rim Phil. Let's not confuse people here with different fact's....

My rims are 7" with -5 offset (roughly). I think they fit perfectly for up to 235/75R15. They don't cause any clashing.
Also don't stick out of the flares which is good when the law comes up behind you

They do bring the tyres in line with the outer face of the flare.
