[SierraDan]

OK. first question is are you serious?

If you want to ask such a question, you will get some people poking fun at you.
But lets not, lets try and be nice about it.

here is your goal:

Oh wait, those are 37s I think. looks tuff though.

Whats your current setup, how much do you want to spend, do you still want to use it offroad or just to "look tuff".

[neofitou]

here is Mitches old car on 33s (courtesy of Gwagensteve)


And Harleys on 34s.


but I think this, is what your looking for:

[atari4x4]

if you just want to look cool, grab some of these... will have the ladies frothing as you do mainy's

[neofitou]

here is your basic checklist.
75mm lift kit
Castor Corrected Radius Arms
extended brakelines
bigger CVs
Body Lift
steering spacer
Steering Damper Kit

I assume you already have some gears sorted out. if not you will need to do that too.


more inspiration for you

i have a 1.6 in mine it smokes up 31" all terrains no probs so it should power the 33s

[SierraDan]

Neofitou.. He wont need some of that stuff. He only wants them for around town.

[JIMNY_CRICKET]

thinking i might just do a 2" body lift and with a bit of luck they will fit under already have a 2" lift was going for 3" flexy browns springs lift

Weld the shocks full open and chuck em back in. Should have heaps of clearance then

U sir are confusing

[JIMNY_CRICKET]

well 33s are just not practical for off road 31s are nice

[Dec]

I'm rather confused, where do you live?
Reason i'm asking is that 31's are already illegal for your Jimny (on road), as far as i was aware, so how are you going to get away with 33's?
Or does this not concern you?

2 minutes, you must be a slow reader.

Really confusing.

All bullshitting aside,
Your suggesting that there is a practical reason to run really aggressive 33s for visual appeal and 31s for offroad use. And that you dont need gearing for them because you have a 1.6l engine.
Practicality enters into this nowhere. Tires that are two inches bigger arent going to assist you to achive more orgasms, that are shared with other people.

Yes, all you will need to fit the 33s is a body lift, but probaby not for 10" wide rims, they just wont tuck in under the guards like your 31s do.
If you tub in (and out) the guards with an, um, passionate, virtual lift they will fit and make the car better offroad (in many terrains).
But. You will need stronger cvs and lower gears. You need them now but {edited} who doesn't know any better.

Legally, in Australia, you can run 33s on a Jimny, but you will need to install diffs from a car that is suitable to run 33s and have the work certified by an engineer.

It looks like you have a good setup that your happy with offroad. Leave it like that.
Dont bother with the 33s unless doing it properly and actually needing more tire for what you are driving.

I actually think that 33s are probably just about the right size for a Jimny. It would be great to see you do it well.
I hope to run 31s as my next tire (perfect for my terrain here) and 35s on my next build when I return to Au.
/all Bullshitting aside

Keep up the good work! I like the lols.

[atari4x4]

All those keystrokes, links and info were wasted... old mate is on the bus already

[Chop]

I call bogus, you want it to look cool? But you have that front bar!

[grototech]

33s on a jimny are great. if you live in south west vic like i do then 31s dont get you to far in our ruts. Ive had 33s on mine for 2 years with sierra transfer. havent broken much considering. It depends ALOT on the driver
I know ill prob get flamed as its what everyone like to do! But if your doing it for the 'look' then go buy a skyline or something from the ricer community...
