Very useful video, thank you for taking the time to do this. I have 215/70R16 on my stock Jimny at the moment but I want to give it a 2" lift, 20mm spacers and bigger tyres. I might just go with 225/75R16 to keep it pretty normal and not affect economy too much. Thanks again.
I have just fitted 225/70R15 Apollo Apterria. Its wider than standard 190 but with the 70 profile its exactly the same height / diameter as the standard tyre so it doesnt affect gearing and doesnt touch the body at all. For extra information check a rim / tyre chart for recommended tyre rim application
@@johnhewitt1096 thanks for the heads up. Theres also a website that does all the calculations for you so you can compare. Im loving my KO2’s, I’ve had them on all my vehicles prior, they last long in my application, I haven’t yet had a tyre rip on the side with the ko2’s, so fingers crossed, hopefully the km3’s will be as durable in the rocky areas. you feel the weight of the 30’s on the car but its a win lose situation, where you lose abit of acceleration you gain in stability.
The best way would be to ask the tyre shop to fit one tyre and do a turn test, flex test(let the one tyre climb on a ramp and see if it doesn’t touch. I know 215’s will definitely work.
I put 235/75x 15 on my jimny after an ironman lift shocks and springs this changed her from a toy into a machine.

Im running 31/10.5r15 on a 2inch lift. No re-gear and minimal cutting and the van runs fine

I like the way the tyre installer used a wheel brace, instead of the faster but damaging pneumatic version.
No reason an impact gun (pneumatic or electric) should damage anything.
Do you think a 225/75R15 is a good option stock with no cutting?
