Tire Size Compatibility

 

Please refer to this page of Tire Size Compatibility For Lifted Jimny when deciding the conformity of tires. We hope this page helps you. If the combination of lift amount and tire size is not good, various problems will occur. Choosing the right tire size for your lift is important. Also, please note even normal city driving requires the installation of the correct suspension kit, including the necessary correction parts if you would like to install larger-size tires. We are sorry, but we do not offer advice on tire compatibility. In all circumstances, it is recommended to consult a professional tire shop or mechanic when fitting large tires to a lifted Jimny.

 

NOTE 1: Tire sizes may vary by manufacturer and type. Vehicles also may have individual differences. Also, depending on the type of Jimny, the shape of the frame may be slightly different, so trimming the body may be required and the compatibility may vary. In addition, conditions may vary depending on wheel type, width, inset, etc in some cases.

NOTE 2: Tire sizes listed may not be available in some countries or regions. Also, some tires in sizes other than those listed on this page are being sold.

NOTE 3: If you increase the tire size, the speedometer display will show a lower speed than the actual speed. Please be careful not to get a speeding ticket, and more importantly, don't get in a traffic accident.

NOTE 4: On some vehicles, especially JDM K-cars, the tires may protrude from the body. Wider fenders may be required depending on the country or region's rules and laws.

NOTE 5: We do not sell tires, and we are sorry, but we cannot answer any inquiries regarding tire compatibility. So please contact a tire specialty store for details. Choosing your tires is your own responsibility.

NOTE 6: This page is researched and created by Compass Auto Japan. These data include not only actual measurements but calculated figures as well, and we do not guarantee the compatibility of tires with your Jimny. Also, we will not be responsible for any incorrect information.

Good: Recommended.

OK: Tires can be installed, but in some cases, the tires touch the body. Extended bump stops may be required. Also, trimming the fender or bumper, or replacing the bumper especially the front bumper with an aftermarket thin type may be required. Wheel spacers may be required if the front tires touch the frame.

No: It may be possible to install the tires only when the car is stopped. However, there is a high possibility that the tires will touch the body when driving, so it is not recommended especially for off-road driving. Safe driving may not be possible, and this tire size is not recommended.

 

*1 Trimming the fender or bumper, or replacing the bumper especially the front bumper with an aftermarket thin type is required since the tire may contact the fender. Also, extended bump stops may be required as well.

*2 In addition to the above *1, modifications such as suspension adjustments (e.g. replacing radial arms with extended type, or lifting body) are required.

*3 It is difficult to install on Jimny other than JB74 (2018-present) in some cases.
