Hi guy's

Just bought a new white 2015 jimny and already want to mod it. Plans are a 2 inch lift and 215 75 at or mt's on a sunraysia style rim. I know king wheels make a sunraysia style rim 15.6 with either 0 offset or pos 10. I really want to avoid scrubbing and not have to trim guards etc. Which offset will be ok to avoid this? I know the stock steelies are pos 5 and many people run 215 75's with stock height and no scrubbing. Please share your thoughts cheers

All I can tell you is that I have put bfg at 215x75x15 on my 2013 jimny alloy mags no problems at stock height and no problems when I put a 50mm EFS suspension lift on it. I have heard that there are issues with scrubbing on the facelift jimny ie post 2012 models when using bigger tyres on other rims but I'm no expert

215/75R15 might scrub on the front in reverse at full lock (grabbed a little bit of black plastic on mine inside the front bumper) only really 2 things to fix it 1. chop that bit off or 2.front bull bar/winch bar. in my opinion a lift alone won't help and an off set rims will stop the tyres being able to tuck under the standard guards without an "AZ chop" (good tech has a thread on how to do it fyi).

So put the 215's on, drive it and sort it from there :)

No worries thanks guys. I guess it's just a bit of trial and error. Might have to leave the jimny stock due to warrenty but I don't think this will happen haha.

If you upgrade to 215's keep your stock wheels and tyres for when the car goes back to the dealer. This will prevent warranty hassles.
