If your usage is 70% on road and 30% offroad then you must opt for 7J on 215. If you are simply on 60-40 then must recommend to have perfect offroad tires with suitable rims, without Bulge. Else you'll end up ruining you rims or tires. Maybe on curbs or on the edgy rocks.
By the way what is the PCD for Jimmy rims, a little bit curious to know.
I think stock 5.5j fits the most what you described as |_|. See if its visible from these pics below. Now it seems even 7j is too wide.

Jimny has 5 bolt 139.7 PCD. Same as Gypsy.

These looks already perfect, not sure why you want to replace these to 7J or 8J. The tires you are using are great on road and offroad but the side walls are really soft. I used them in 2020 on Bolero they performed really great but at last tire got its favorite cut on the side walls and ruined the entire system.
I already quoted initally do not go with the looks go with the practicality.
