As i bought 235 85 r 16 bfg ko2 for my jimny xl (5door), wil be doing a 50mm lift kit and 25mm body lift block, i just hope that wil work, as the vehicle is about to get deliver next week
I would imagine so, because the sidewall is significantly smaller (70, as opposed to 75). Therefore, the overall diameter of the wheel + tyre will be reduced by roughly 37mm (the result being very similar to the OEM wheel + tyre size), which should minimise any clearance issues with the bottom of the front bumper. I hope that helps!
What was the reason behind using 15x7.0J-25 spec wheel and not 15x7.0J+0. The zero offset would have avoided the situation of any bumper trimming. Thank you
Because the customer insisted on 15x7.0J-25 specification for the widest possible stance! This meant a lot more work in order to complete the installation, but it’s what the customer wanted
At the bottom of the front bumper, inside the front wheel arches, we trimmed away 10-15mm from this bumper edge. We also removed the bottom plastic bracket that the inner arch liner clips onto. Then, we made a custom bracket (one on each side) that sits between the arch liner and front bumper, to secure the arch liner. This is then held in place using the original Suzuki pop clip, so that it gives an OEM finish. I hope this helps
The tyres on this build were 235/75R15. We'd usually recommend 215/75R15 90% of the time as they are lighter and aren't as likely to require trimming of the bottom of the front bumper in order to fit properly. However, there's no denying that 235/75R15 looks super tough!
@@JIMNYSTYLE 235 def looks great!!! But will be playing it safe and going for the 215 even though they don’t come with white letters anymore 🥲 thanks for the advice !!
@@katydavison1832 the overall diameter with 215/75R15s fitted would be much smaller, so with lifted suspension there shouldn't be a need for bumper trimming. With standard suspension, some trimming will most likely still be needed
The BF Goodrich KO2 is still our favourite in terms of both style and performance, but we'd also recommend taking a look at the General Grabber AT3 and Falken Wildpeak AT3WA as these are a bit more road biased and a bit more affordable
you can fit 235/75R15 tyres on the OEM wheels and this should work just fine with a 40mm. At the worst, a small amount of trimming might be required, but not as much as was needed here as the EVO Corse wheels are much wider with a lower offset. I hope that helps!
Hi, they're 15x7.0J-25. The various specs of the parts used are listed in the video description, should you be wondering about tyre sizes etc. I hope the helps!
I've done this to more powerful vehicles like shogun mk2 2.8 litre. I love noticed quite a decrease in torque. With a rather small engine like the Jimny's 1.5 petrol, how did u go about it pls? Did you replace gears in the diffs or box? Thank you. Doesn't it look fab. Glad u changed the brake lines. Without doing it, it's a death trap
In terms of comfort, it's great! The steering response isn't as sharp as our own Jimny with 215/70R16s (same suspension and BF Goodrich KO2s installed) but I believe this is mainly down to the larger sidewalls on the 235/75R15s which numbs the steering feel a bit.
@@marijanspasenovski362 the standard gearing is just fine! The car will be used predominantly on farm fields, so no concerns about steep rock climbing or anything of that nature
Can’t wait to see this get used at the Diddly Squat Farm!
Does Jeremy fit inside there? 😆
@@OlafGunnarssonhe won’t , he said it in an interview
Wow. Amazing. And the playlist was on fire 🔥
one of the best amazon series, this video is also good
That’ll be skipping over those Lamborghini tractor ruts like a caffeinated goat.🤩👍
Really cool looking Jimny dude.
Wish we got the Jimny in the States. Nice build!

Woow espectacular..saludos desde Barcelona
Nice ride, have fun!
This is brilliant!
This is awesome!
Que beleza de trabalho e seu canal é muito bom!🚙👍
Thank you very much for your kind words!
Hello! There is a TOYO model "open country AT 2" which is 225/70/15. Do you think if will fit properly without lifting 2 inches?.
I would imagine so, because the sidewall is significantly smaller (70, as opposed to 75). Therefore, the overall diameter of the wheel + tyre will be reduced by roughly 37mm (the result being very similar to the OEM wheel + tyre size), which should minimise any clearance issues with the bottom of the front bumper. I hope that helps!
@@STREETTRACKLIFE Terrific! Appreciate your help!

Can you share the trimming? I want to install 235s and want to know what to trim exactly for best results thanks.

Great video! is the BF Goodrich a 215/75/15 measure ? or would you recomend 235 ? for a 15 inch rim.. thanks!!

@@rllanoasa no problem! It's a shame they discontinued the 215 version with white lettering
@@JIMNYSTYLE with the 215 does this mean there will be no need to do any trimming or is there still a chance with these that you will?
@@katydavison1832 the overall diameter with 215/75R15s fitted would be much smaller, so with lifted suspension there shouldn't be a need for bumper trimming. With standard suspension, some trimming will most likely still be needed
Does 235 make the steering heavier?
What tyres can you recommend if 70 % will be driving on asphalt and 30 % is rocky ground?
The BF Goodrich KO2 is still our favourite in terms of both style and performance, but we'd also recommend taking a look at the General Grabber AT3 and Falken Wildpeak AT3WA as these are a bit more road biased and a bit more affordable
Thanks a Lot!
can I use R17 sizes in jimny
Great video!
Does anyone produce Portal Axle Kits for the Jimny?
I believe they are available from certain custom manufacturers in Europe!
@@JIMNYSTYLE thanks much I will keep looking
How much increase in height does this lift kit give?
+40mm!
would the 235’s work with the stock wheels? also, would i need trimming even if i do the 40mm lift?
you can fit 235/75R15 tyres on the OEM wheels and this should work just fine with a 40mm. At the worst, a small amount of trimming might be required, but not as much as was needed here as the EVO Corse wheels are much wider with a lower offset. I hope that helps!
What is the current offset for the OEM Jimny wheels ?
Can you drive the 235 tires without lifting the car ?
No, sorry! 215 would be the best option for a car with standard suspension
Hi mate, just wondering what offset those wheels are please.
Hi, they're 15x7.0J-25. The various specs of the parts used are listed in the video description, should you be wondering about tyre sizes etc. I hope the helps!
@@JIMNYSTYLE thank you so much.
@@emmanualsingh5105 no problem at all!
Assuming it needed a wheel alignment after the lift?
Aside from the steering rod being adjusted to re-centre the steering wheel, nothing else was changed
@@JIMNYSTYLE This video was so much entertaining :)
Price for all modifications?
At the time of the build, full lift kit, wheels, tyres, TPMS sensors & LED tail lights would have been £2585.91 (+ VAT if you are a UK customer)

How's the ride with 235s?
In terms of comfort, it's great! The steering response isn't as sharp as our own Jimny with 215/70R16s (same suspension and BF Goodrich KO2s installed) but I believe this is mainly down to the larger sidewalls on the 235/75R15s which numbs the steering feel a bit.
@@JIMNYSTYLE Interesting nice to hear, did you re gear it, how's first gear low?
@@JIMNYSTYLE does it need re-gearing?
@@marijanspasenovski362 the standard gearing is just fine! The car will be used predominantly on farm fields, so no concerns about steep rock climbing or anything of that nature
@@lungo1239 it didn’t, it’s just fine for how the owners will use it!
What's the wheel spec ?
15x7.0J-25 with 235/75R15. Lots of front bumper trimming was required (not shown in the video)
I like 3 doors jimny
Such a shame Clarkson will probably bash it up at some point.
As far as we are aware he's very fond of his little Jimny!
