I'll start off light... 215/80R15 tyres, followed by a 50mm lift (Depending on how different the coils are to the current Jimny).

Can't you fit a 16" rim with a 65 profile?

Because there are more options in 16" than there are in 15"....

16" rims also give you 1/2" less sidewall for the same diameter tyre. :roll:

It is a lot less cramped inside and 4 sit pretty comfortable. The upright body creates a huge amount of interior space compared to the current model.
But there is “boot space” sacrificed to do this.
The door at the back does not open a full 90 degrees, and this will impact on the movement /size of a drawer system if you wanted to fit one. But a slightly longer gas strut to make it open to 90-95 degrees should be able to sort that out. There is no limitation at the hinge for it to stop so early, not one that I could see.
Should be interesting to take it for a test drive. The extra power, as Saxj mentioned, will make a huge difference.
