I just had a quick check on the net, no idea of Jimny wheels stud placement, seems its the same as a vitara or sierra or f100.

So your choice is near limitless.

i have two sets forsale at the moment mate,

there are atleast 2 other sets in the forsale thread.

it will all depend on what size and offset your after.

Leaf sprung Sierra rims, particularly the Wide Track (WT) Sierras, have the same factory offset and stud pattern as Jimny so just tell them "To fit a Sierra".

EDIT: Will be a good guide but you'll still want to ensure the offset and width they come up with are compatible.

I can find some 15x8 inch rims but i'm not to sure they will fit under ?

from memory standard rims are 6inch, with a +5 offset.

if you go an inch bigger in width, you need to either go half an inch bigger in positive offset or start trying to cover tyres.

my 15 x 8s have approx -10 offset. so they are going to hang out a ways.

but i like offset soo... :)

I wouldn't go bigger than 7" with 235s as they'll roll off the rims at low pressure.

Tanshi, So i would need to get 7inch with about + 20 off set
or 8 inch with about + 30 off set
Is that right

thats the theory i believe.

but thats going to leave you with alot of wheel hanging inside the wheel arch, and it will probably foul on things.

7 inch is about as wide as i would go.

"Tanshi, So i would need to get 7inch with about + 20 off set

Pretty sure they're 5.5 wide.

Thanks for that :D

Just went and measured my spare.
Exactly 7" wide
Mounting face of the wheel is exactly centred in the 7"s. So no offset at all, hadn't expected that.

My XXalloysXX Mags :) fit the Jimny really nice, the tyres sit flush with the edge of the flare and there's plenty of room in the wheel wells and clearance from the arch lip for them to tuck inside. Close but clears.
I have no scrubbing issues although I'm on about 80'ish mm suspension lift. I think at 50mm a 235 on any rim will scrub. 60mm should work though.

So it means that there is enough room to put wheels under the guards using 7 inch wide wheels with a negative off set?

So your saying your 15 x 7s are 0 mm offset? correct?

I suppose half an inch inward and outward isnt that much that it would hang out past the guards

7inch rims with negative offset are going to hang out of the guards by the amount of negative offset going by Zukenutters info above

yep, negative offset makes them stick out more.

so anything 0 offset in 7 inch will be fine. any thing positive offset will be fine.

Will start getting very close to chassis. I totally fluked it with mine, anything either way will start contacting.
