It's only pic I have but if you ever decide to go Bigger in tyres I would go to a 30 instead of 235's. I'm runing 40mm coils with 30's.
No need for 80mm lift. I can probs fit a 31 in the guards if I cut them.

Hey guys, New to the forum, I just picked up a 2002 Jimny and have been looking at wheel/tyre options. At the moment it has 40mm lift and stock wheels, I'm considering getting 215/75/r15 tyres for the time being and goin up to 235/75/r15 down the track along with an 80mm lift. So my main question is how wide a rim I should be going that will accommodate both tyre sizes and won't give me any troubles with the 40mm lift. I was looking at dynamic sunraysias but it looks like they only come in 15x8 but I notice most guys seem to be running 15x7... Any suggestions/advice? Thanks!! |

Ideal rim width would be 6", or even the the standard 5.5" if your tyre fitter doesn't mind fitting a 235/75R15 to it. Wider rims put less pressure on the bead on tend to get more mud/water/grit in them when the pressures are lowered off-road. A narrower rim is also lighter. If you can, get the narrowest rim you can get away with. A 215/75R15 won't even fit properly on a 15x8, and a 15x7 will be getting crap in the bead at anything less than 15PSI. |

stay with the factory rims with the 215's, and when times come to go up to 235's think about the rim (15x7 is the more commonly used) and more importantly about the # of offset u want for it too... so heaps of time to research during ur 215's life... dnt waste money in rims now IMO |
