16in zuk rims?

Post by antt »

just wondering if late model vitara's came with narrow 16in steel wheels at all? i'm looking at getting a set of those simex mp centerpede's that are being talked about in general tech, but obviously need a 16 to run them. i like the look of em cause they're cheap, tall and narrow

link to the thread about the simex's

or does anyone have any they want to sell? :)

I was looking to run one of those as a space saver style spare, on an old 16" rim as found on the LJs and early sierra.

i'm certain Vitaras have had 16" Alloy options for the Sports-type ' Pack' :roll:

Ring around the wreckers, don't say for what car just that they are a 5 stud 16" :D

Anyway if i see a Vitara or Escudo with 16 i'll check the stamp
(can't believe how many of them are here on Queenstown, NZ .. i have only spotted 2 Sierras but at least 30 vitaras )

I am fairly sure that late model GV and XL-7 come standard with 16 inch steel wheels.

Cheers

V6 vitaras 96 and onwards have 16 X 6 inch rims but I'd watch out for rust there doesn't seem to be much primer on my 16 inch rims. Bridgestone Mud Duellers are another aggressive tyre in the narrow sizes,you see a few Landrovers with them.

Regards Charlie

I was running the grandy 16x8's and found they where the most crap rims ever all you have to do is look at them and they bend and at around 100 a corner they are not a good option
