Done a search can't find the info I'm looking for. What's the ideal Jimny wheel offset with 2 inch suss lift and 235/75 r15 tyres, From research possibly -12 or -13, widen the track a little, not place to much on the kingpins or wheel bearings. Need some advice to clear this up. Cheers

As a idea I have -13 sunny and all that sticks outside the guards is the tapered edge from the tread to the sidewall ( on mud tires)
From memory it was about 6mm from the widest point of the wheel arches to the sidewall of my tires.

15x7 -13 is a good offset for a jimny. I had 15x8 -28 and that was a bearing killer/ guard eater

15x7 -0 don't fit, but -13 does.
I run 15x8 -23 everyday onroad with 31s, and I have beadlocked 15x7s the. 15x7s fit allot better...

So a 15x7 - 12 or -13 with 235/75 r15 should be sweet?

-13 is the most common offset

From memory it was about 6mm from the widest point of the wheel arches to the sidewall of my tires. What size are your tyres? 30x9.5 I will double check this today. I have a picture aswell to give you an idea.

I have a picture aswell to give you an idea. Pics? I'm still trying to get an idea of what mine will look like. What real difference is there between a -12 and a - 13? Why does 1mm make a difference? I trying to figure out why ppl would make almost the same rim, and the affect it would have on my car.

Difference in someone measuring it with a ruler or difference in a jig to make rims. Dunno.
1mm will make 1mm of difference. (Don't worry your little head about it)
