hey guys just have a few quick questions to run by youse, i am getting my new tyres fitted this friday and have a few quick things to questions.

I have a set of 4 15x7 inch sunnies with 0 offset and they sit fly dick close to the steering arms.. do any jimny owners have this problem, is it a problem ?

Also i have a steering wobble already around 70->80 kmh by increasing the width of the rim will that also make the wobble worse?

Should i just fit them to the standard jimny rims and not worry about unsing the sunnys.

Thanks guys your advice would be very helpfulL! Mubby.

what size tyre are you going to run? you can run a 235/75 on a 5.5 rim (just).

i wouldnt use a 215/75 on a 15x7 personally... the 215's will fit the stock 5.5 rim perfectly.

Hey mate I have -13 off set sunnies and 235-75-15 muddies and I had wobbles with stockie on it and now the new ones there is no wobble. -13 just tucks in the guards and give her a wider stance.

are your rims like 2-3mm of hitting the steering arm? and if i ran 215;s at low pressure would i be likely to roll the tyre off the rim?
