We thoroughly tested how large a tire size we could fit on a Jimny Nomad (5-door) while keeping the vehicle height and fenders at stock.

Once again, Naoki Matsudo of GRACE, a shop in Kisarazu City, Chiba Prefecture, assisted us with the tire change.

The tire sizes tested this time were:

195/80R15 (OEM size)

225/70R16 (YOKOHAMA GEOLANDAR X-AT)

YOKOHAMA WHILL "RJ-D2 for JIMNY" 6 J-16 wheels

The difference in outer diameter (approx. 693mm → 721mm)

The changes in driving feel and appearance are also clearly compared. This is a challenge project that realistically documents the eternal question for Jimny owners: "How far can you go with the vehicle height?"

Tires Installed
Tires: 225/70R16 (YOKOHAMA GEOLANDAR X-AT)
Wheels: YOKOHAMA WHILL "RJ-D2 for JIMNY" 6 J-16
