2001 Jimny wheel size
Hi there, don't suppose anyone could help? I'm looking to buy new wheels and tires for my Jimny, tire size being - 205/70R15C, however after looking at websites, i've noticed they have different depth sizes, which the tire size (i don't think) show.
I know i need 15", but will I need 7" depth, or 8"??
Hope I've made myself clear enough aha, any help would be great, thanks!

On the steels, stick with 205 70 15, or if you want a little more, go for 215 75 15
What wheels are you looking at, I've got a smashing set of alloys, but the offset is too high, and they are too wide :(

haha, they sit outside the wheel arches, and will catch as soon as i put tyres on, unless you want to buy a 2in lift and do the VL for me, all for fre?ScottieJ wrote:You just aren't trying hard enough to make them fitzook123 wrote:

what are you scared of? 235s etc will fit without lift if you do some trimming
plus there's nothing wrong with a tiny bit of poke ![thumbup :thumbup:](./images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

Re: 2001 Jimny wheel size
Those tyres would fit your standard wheels, the maximum width you should fit those tyres to is a 7" wide wheel, they are perfect for the original wheels that you have already.TyZuk wrote:Hi there, don't suppose anyone could help?
