i am wondering if i can fit 15x6 rim with a offset of 0 with bf good rich m/t kmz 215/75R15 onto a stock jimny is there any scrubbing issues that any one knows of thanks

You might get away with it. I know a 15x7 neg12 is the minimum for clearance so you might just scrape through.

Why buy new wheels when their only 0.5" wider then stock? 215s will fit nicely

i want to go from alloys to steels for 4wd purposes

[Mike57]

You should be fine. You might get some minor touching on the rear edge of the front wheels when compressing but nothing to worry about.

I can see no reason to run steel over alloy rims on a car as light as a jimny.

I prefer alloy easier to have repaired and still shiny when you scratch them on rocks

This x10. Fatter tyres to protect the rim > steel wheels, the weight just isn't worth it. If your tapping them hard enough to chip/damage them then you steel wheel will end up bent an unbalanced anyway.

The steel rims u buy now days are crap. I bent the lip on 3 on my vit

[Gwagensteve]

I reckon my walkers are heavier than a comparable steel rim.

And that's the issue right there. Sure steel rims won't crack like an alloy, but they are still bent and shagged at the same point an alloy will crack. Either way you up for a new rim.

I also think a 215/75R15 works nicely with a stock rim as the little extra with helps protect the rim. I honestly think you will damange a 6 inch aftermarket steel rim faster with a 215/75 than a stock alloy with the same tyre. A 215 also adds extra weight, you really don't need the extra weight of .5 extra width and steel material of the rim also.

@ gwagon and that weight also had the added stress of leverage, as you would know a tyre with 2kgs extra is much more stress on the drivetrain than a wheel with 2kgs extra, but it's all a compromise so to the OP why add weight when you don't have to?

They are probably rated to 10x the weight of the car

[Gwagensteve]

Definitely. I can't remember the load rating but it's plenty.
