Hi everyone just wanting to get opinions on the best wheel and tyre size combo for a jimny.

At the moment it is all stock but in near future want to get a suspention lift and bigger wheel and tyres.
Is it best to stay with the standard wheels and go for the largest that will fit them or go for wider wheel and slightly larger tyres(235's).also will look at bullbar,snorkel when moey come up

Thanks

Perfect size would be either a be a 215 or a 225..

If you plan on doing gearing later then a 235 or even a 30 would do ok.

What kind of terrain do you plan on driving with the jimny??

but depends even more on how much you want to spend on modifications to fit a given tyre size.
