Hello Everyone.
I have just bought a 3/15 Jimny , so it has ABS Traction Control and Stability Control.
Has anyone modified a Jimny with the above ? I was considering larger tyres and a suspension lift , but only to legal limmits....
I don't want to do hard core 4wd , but a bit more hight would be grear.
Any ideas , sugestions ?
Thank You.

I didn't think Jimny's had traction control?
Anyways 215/75/r15 is the largest legal tyre (28") and will fit without modification.

Yep it has Steve , once you have ABS its easy incorporate.
The Jimnys you may of notice were not on sale for a while in 2014 , new regs came in that new cars cant be sold with out it.. so Suzuki Aust/Qld had to wait for updated model..
Mate was thinking the 215 , but what I'm realy wondering is will the different rpm V road speed by having a larger rolling diameter upest anything?

215/75 s will give a rough 5% change in gearing. they are practically as big as you can go if you want to go by the book.

Ok Guys.
If I put 215/75 R15s on , would be worth installing say 40mm coil spacers aswell to get a bit more hight?
Also are 215s ok on stock rims?

[Gwagensteve]

I wouldn't recommend coil spacers on a jimny. Yes, 215's fit on stock runs fine.

You can try the 215's on stock rims first with no lift. They may scrub on the front under full spring compression or may not. Depends upon the tyre. Remember that a lift will not stop this happening as the bump stops will still be the same but it might happen less frequently. Many owners report no scrubbing at all with stock suspension.

215's will correct the speedo so it will be spot on but as Gwagensteve says you can't go any larger without gearing changes and also anything larger will not be legal. Even with 215's you will notice that you are changing down a gear a little earlier when going up hills.
