They are landrover defender arches.

This is a terrible rim choice for a jimny. Go for something like a 15x7 -38 instead. My tyre's hit the body mount that's welded onto the chassis on full lock, but only when the suspension is fully compressed . I didn't have this issue with 15x7's with -38off-set rim's.

Why not space your bumpstops off to prevent the tyre being stuffed so high in the arch?

Also iv gone 15*7 -12 unless that's what you where referring to. Iv got the tyres now. But haven't fitted them yet. Busy with uni

Cus they would need hoooooge bumpstop spacers - i like having some up travel left

No, i meant 15x7 -38 which is would be the same as a 15x8 -24 i do beleave

Wouldn't that be from the center of the tyre 14mm further out then the 15*8 -24.

[alien]

nope - 7" rim and 8" rim... so that changes where the outer edge sits by 12.5mm.

[Blakey]

offsets are determined from the center aren't they. so from the center a -24 offset is 24mm further in pushing the outside of the wheel out.

if you sit a 7" rim and a 8" rim side by side so there centers line up. then from the center offset each by -24 then they Tyre sits central to the rim by that the Tyre will be in the same position for a 7"rim at -24 and an 8" rim at -24.

Man I'm running 32" Centerpieds (actually measure out too pretty much 33") with flipped and re-welded rims to about -60 or something, just hammered that lip flat and redrilled the front radius arm holes 15-20mm further forward and placed a 1" tails haft spacer in which also helped the tails haft clear the gearbox chassis pipe thingy, everything clears and works fine

[kyzermattingley]

This was how it looked before spring spacers and before redrilling the chassis



I've also moved the radius arm mounting holes holes in the diff housing about 10mm just to give even more, but was great with just that lip hammered and the mountes in the chassis redrilled

Why do you need such big wheels? Won't the cops just defect it?
