TYRES & RIMS || Suzuki Jimny JB74 Tyre and Wheel Upgrade || Fitting Off-Road 4wd Tyres To My Jimny

[@jeremyharris4415]

Wow what a big difference your Jimny looks so much better and I’m sure you are going to have way better handling on road and off road is well. Great job Nick so looking forward to seeing it on the tracks

[@LowRangeNick]

Cheers Jeremy! It has definitely improved the stability. You can feel how much more planted it is with the wider wheels and offset. 😊

[@suiloongyong7563]

nice. mine is 265 70 r15 Falken Wildpeak on stock rim with a 3 inch OME lift. its a daily drive for kids to school. great for tarmac.

Looking good. Hope you can share more about the RAZR AT811

[@LowRangeNick]

I'll definitely keep you posted on how they go, but after a week of driving around, they are quiet, grippy, and very well balanced. Keen to test them off-road though 😊

[@f.t.w1066]

Jimny is looking tuff great job.👍👍👍

[@LowRangeNick]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@garrypointer]

It really needed the AT plus 15x7inch rims alloy .include 25mm on front and rear different housing .

[@LowRangeNick]

It has given the Jimny a great increase in ground clearance and an awesome tyre too.

[@rajpsms]

Extra weight of the tires will changes the overall performance of the vehicle, the all terrain tires with new rims can be lesser weight allowing less un sprung weight on tires, We can get tires with rims that doesn't require spares. That helps jimny perform better with better milage. This is from my experience. I like the vide, game me some good insight.

[@kassemballout2262]

hey mate ty for the video amazing just one question can u put a lader in the back next to the tyre ?

[@LowRangeNick]

@@kassemballout2262 you sure can.

[@louiskudlak2256]

Looks good buddy, hey I've seen a jimny with 31's on it

[@LowRangeNick]

You can fit some pretty big tyres on the Jimny. If you go any bigger then 235's you do require lower transfer gearing to make it usable off-road though. 😊

[@MrMaxence07]

Hi Nick looks great any issues with gear box im running 215/75/15 but want to 235 but everybody say I will affect bearing act gear box

[@LowRangeNick]

@@MrMaxence07 no issues with any running gear so far. I think the biggest killer of wheel bearings is sand and mud and not soo much 235 tyres.

[@MrMaxence07]

[@briahlia]

Hey Nick, are you planning on installing a tow bar? I'd love to see you install one. I'm looking at the TAG recovery tow bar but unsure if it's something I could install myself! Keep the jimny content coming mate, I love it!

[@LowRangeNick]

Hey there! I probably won't install a Towbar because I have another vehicle that I use for towing a trailer. I'm pretty sure it's an easy install though. I'm sure there would be a video or instructions somewhere 🙂

[@CañonAlonso]

What about the increasing fuel consumption of your Jimny now? Are you considering an upgrade to a bigger fuel tank? The 40 lt fuel tank is very small.

[@Gothpuncher]

new tyres look awesome mate

[@LowRangeNick]

Cheers 🍻 😊

[@tdock86]

Really great vid showing measurements etc. I'm going to go with 205R16C as they are slightly lighter, and skinnier for better contact patch deflated. They are also a lot of great tyres to choose from in that size. (Profile is 80) Overall diameter 28.9".

[@willemvantsant5105]

Check your speedo against gps, will read lower with bigger wheels. My mux reads 6 ks higher against gps.

[@LowRangeNick]

I do need to do a gps check to see how it has changed the speedo. On stock tyres, I was travelling about 5km slower than what the speedo was saying. So it should bring it back up close to actual speed I think.

[@Azureecosse]

Nice looking and the wheels and tyres are nice too.😉

[@RayGoss]

Great video not sure if it’s the right place for a comment but freewheeling rear hubs for the new five door Suzuki, jimmy I’ve heard a bit about it can’t find any information. Thanks

[@anthonyramdin1037]

Hey Nick, great job as usual! Any possibility of tuning the engine to get a little more poke out of it? I know its not turbocharged so gains will be small but it would help especially with throttle response.

[@LowRangeNick]

Apparently, you can get an ecu remap to get some more power and torque.

For an already under powered vehicle would this not make it have even less power looks great though.

[@OscarQuintero-j6v]

Beatifull my friendo I lo e it.

[@toddbrackett4277]

Are those the biggest tires that you can run without a lift? What were the dimensions of the new rims? Were the rims just a cosmetic upgrade? Any plans to install lower gears to compensate for the larger and heavier 🛞s?

[@drkhalidadventurer1721]

Hey nick great to see you video, previously i upgrade many thing in my Dmax by watching ur MUX's video, now i am about to buy Jimny 5 door planing to put on 235/85 r 16 KO2 (31.6inch) , on a 40-50mm lift and 1 inch body lift, whats your take and opinion on this?

[@LowRangeNick]

Sounds like it will be a beast. Those tyres will definitely suck all of the power out of the vehicle though, so you would definitely want some reduction gears. You may even need a bigger lift and some guard trimming.

[@drkhalidadventurer1721]

Will DM u on insta

[@richardguse3410]

Any comments on the nearly 10 kg. increase in unsprung weight in each tire/rim?

[@LowRangeNick]

@richardguse3410 The price we pay for good off-road ability. The jimny handles the weight and rolling resistance increase well. Any bigger then these 235s though and you would begin to have issues with wheel bearings / premature wear on steering components.

[@DMaxDamo]

Fuck yeah dude I've been hanging for this video! Looks awesome Nick 🤙🤙

Cheers Damo! It's all coming together 😄

[@OsmanKasim-cs8xd]

Hey Nick, hope you’re keeping well. I was wondering if you needed to lift the jimny for the 235’s? Thank you 🌻

Cool videos. Subscribed and looking forward to more. I'm thinking of getting a Jimny and I'm curious of your fuel economy after the tire size increase ? Also, is yours an auto or manual ? Cheers!

[@juanshow09]

I'm thinking about changing my tyres for these.. So What is the tyre weight only?

[@googlegok9637]

did you fuel eco go down? do you feel power lack on highway in head wind , or gear down uphill ?

[@LowRangeNick]

It does do all of the above, but it is still fine to drive and I feel like it still has sufficient power to get up hills. I think the problem is when people do a lift and tyres and then add 200kg of other gear like winch, bulbar, rear bar, drawers, fridge, dual batteries etc. If you did all of these mods and the tyres I feel like it would be horrible to drive lol. Fuel economy if around 8.2-8.4l per 100km now and before it was around 7.4l per 100km.

[@cosaosa2855]

Did you need to use wheel spacers? And is acceleration or power decreased?

[@LowRangeNick]

@cosaosa2855 No wheel spacers needed. You do lose a bit of power but it still drives great.

Will 225/75/R15 fit the Jimny without the suspension lift kit?

Does installing 235/75/15 tires affect the operation of traction control, and do I need to recalibrate the settings?

do you happen to know the weight of just the rims alone?

[@marijanspasenovski362]

Hey Nick, have you felt loss of power and low gears being faster after putting the bigger tires?

[@LowRangeNick]

There is definitely a loss in power but it is manageable. The gearing is still OK. I wouldn't go any bigger in tyre size without reduction gears.

[@marijanspasenovski362]

@@LowRangeNick Thanks for the reply mate. I am planning to go up in size eventually. But I am a bit concerned since the Jimny is my only car atm. I am running 215/80/15 and it's pretty fine for me. I am mostly worried about highway and hill driving, how many revs does it do at 110 km/h? And do you have even more trouble with overtaking? btw your Jimny looks amazing and that's one of the reasons I wanna go with that size.

[@LowRangeNick]

@marijanspasenovski362 Over normal hills on the highway it is fine and keeps the speed pretty well. But if you come to a really long steep incline you will definitely notice the difference. Having the larger tyres does lower the revs so it sits at around 3000rpm at 100 kmhr. The fuel consumption has increased about 0.8 of a litre. The best size for the jimny is 215/75r15 which doesn't affect power and consumption much but if you want the extra offroad performance with the 235/75r15 tyres then you do sacrifice some onroad performance.

[@marijanspasenovski362]

@@LowRangeNick Thanks for the reply again mate, it was really useful.

[@WAMAGPIE]

mate do you have a 2 inch lift already with these rims and tyres.. we have a 2 inch lift already. What size rim tyre? still the same recommended. cheers, John

I fitted an iron man 2 inch lift to the Jimny before fitting these tyres. The rims are 15x7" 0 offset and tyres are 235/75r15 😀

[@WAMAGPIE]

@@LowRangeNick would you have gone a 245 tyre or happy with what you put on?

[@LowRangeNick]

@@WAMAGPIE I wouldn't have put any bigger on as it would suck too much power and make the gearing horrible. 235 is perfect 😊

[@WAMAGPIE]

Meant to ask, Can you fit the 235 x75 to the existing jimmy rim?@@LowRangeNick

[@LowRangeNick]

@WAMAGPIE technically you shouldn't fit a 235 tyre to the factory rims as the are only 5.5" wide and a 235 requires a 6" wide rim minimum. In saying that, a lot of people do iT any way haha

[@Whatsup766]

Looking at getting those tyres and wheels in the black but as you’ve had them for a bit now, are you still happy or have you found any issues?

[@amitkaushal1]

I am using Yokohama 215/75R 15 AT with airpressure of 28 in all tyres in Jimny 5 door in India. There is no other alteration done in vehicle apart tyres. I took the vehicle on the highway & hills for the first time & found the car was Jerky on Road whereas it was settling properly while passing through path holes or rough terrain on Slow Speeds. The vehicle was so moving that I had to make a stop to check the fitment of the nuts on the wheels. As a driver I felt a lot of body roll on corners in hills & was afraid as if the vehicle may get unstable on corners. I was driving solo & without any luggage. Can you pl suggest solution to this ... should I reduce the tyre pressure further from 28.

[@LowRangeNick]

That just sounds like normal Jimny driving characteristics haha I think 28psi is a good pressure.

[@Andrea_619]

I would definitely install stiffer springs :)

[@ars411]

With due respect. The rule of thumb for an Upsize wheel and tyre size is that wheels to be increased by 1 inch and tyre by 3%. Bigger tyre size will result in a torque deficit in a small capacity engine. According to me 255/60 R15 for normal drive and 6.00 16 NDMS purely for off-roading.

According to Suzuki changing tire size can jeopardize the factory warranty. Any comments?

If the bigger tyres are the direct cause of a fault or failure then it will not be covered by warranty.

Hey Marcus I don't plan on fitting an exhaust as they really just increase the noise (which I don't want to do) the power gain is minimal if anything at all.

Have you re-geared your Jimny after installing these tyres? I’m not a specialist, but people are saying it’s required.

All of the modifications are road legal and covered by insurance. So no worries 😊 Warranty won't cover anything that has been the direct cause of an accessory or modification, which is fair enough.
