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 :(

You just aren't trying hard enough to make them fit

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?

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

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.
205/75R15 (27.1"x 8.1")min rim 5 inch 'optimum' rim 5.5 inch maximum rim width 7 inch

The real question is will they ever touch mud mate?
