GV Wheels and Tyres

Post by Kevin »

Hi all
Given the problems of the GV's standard 235/60x16 tyres, has any tried or heard anything about trying 15 inch rims and a GV with higher profile tyres? Alternatively does anyone know of a suitable 15" wheel that might fit a GV. If I could find some cheap ones and used tyres I might give it a go.

You may find that 15" rims won't clear your calipers as Suzuki upgraded the brakes and fitted larger rims to clear them.

Kevin,

CJ would be dead right there. My 91 Vitara has 15s and you have to be very careful about balancing weight placement as the tolerance is so small to the front calipers.

Any upgrade and there would be no room at all.

Cheers

Clive

Already been looking at this, the only way to fit 15"s is to fit wheel spacers or have a really big offset.
