Another Jimny Tyre Question!
« on: August 31, 2008, 00:56:03 »
Will 215/75 R15 Insa Turbo Sahara tyre's fit on the standard 15x5.5 steel rims, and fit a bog standard Jimny with out any problems? Or is it better to go with the standard 205/70 R15 tyre?

They should be OK on the rims, but may need a bit of body trimming to avoid rubbing.

Which part of the body (and how) would need trimming?

boom out the angle grinder!!
might not come to that though, i had to take the front corner bumperettes and the front mudguard brackets off my sportrak to fit some 235/75/r15 to it. the back was fine, but without a suspension lift it lacks bounce over the bumps!
the only way you'll know is to fit them,(if poss) and take bits off where needed. :smiley:

Typically its the wheelarch extensions, most people cut the final lip off (the bit where the edge goes vertical again)
