Hey guys I was justwandering how a set of 15-8 inch rims would go on a Jimny I plan to run 31-10.5

You'll need to do some heavy guard trimming and cover the protruding tyre with a flare extension, but its well worth the effort IMO.

Start hacking!

EDIT: you'll get away with 7" rims for 31's.

you're gonna need do do a guard chop to fit the 31's so it won't be an issue.

I went 15x7 -38 offset on mine though - theory being the skinnier rim will hold the tyre on better, and i still have the width of a reasonable offset 15x8.

Ah I see. The reason i asked about the 8 inch rims isbecause I'm bidding on a set. On eBay. Vitara Jimny pcd the same?

Yes the PCD is the same. But the offsets are not. What are the specs on the rims?

15-8 -22 offset

Thats a good offset, but it will give you a pretty wide scrub raius. So you will have to trim around the base of the firewall, the top of the wheel arch, and the bumper.

Yeah it doesn't bother me using the old angle grinder

i just did the 31's on a jimny, but i used a 15x7 -12 rim. i was going to go for a 15x8 -28 rims off a mate but i was worried about radius scrub. the 15x7 worked out perfect ( yet to go out wheeling but should be sweet) and only cost me $59 a rim from bob jane.
