Wheels for Grand Vitara?
« on: August 04, 2007, 10:27:01 PM »
I'm looking for a set of aluminum wheels for my Grand Vitara. I was wondering what other vehicles have the same bolt pattern which could be used.  From what I have read you can use Jeep CJ and older model F150 wheels.  Are there any others out there which could be used?  I'm trying to increase my chances of finding a good used set.  There isn't a lot of people out there selling Grand Vitara wheels. Thanks.  Tim

You may also run into clearance problems on your calipers as the GV have bigger calipers and not all wheels with that bolt pattern will fit. Make sure you test fit one on the front before buying.

Does this mean that 15" wheels are out of the question?

Sorry, I did forget GV have 16'inch Rims.
So 15's are probley out of the question.

Try this fitment guide. It will show what rims fit regardless of which vehicles are included in your size  range....  ;)

And like mentioned earlier..size constraints DO matter in back spacing, hub diameter and caliper clearance. Not just any (same) lug hole pattern rim will work.

FYI, I just picked up some Outlaw 2 aluminum wheels for my 99 tracker. I also use a quarter inch wheel spacer so my wheels clear the break caliper. Anyway. Thease did not end up working on my truck. What I did not consicer before picking them up was that the aluminum wheel is much thicker then the steel wheel. So when you mount it up with the quarter inch spcarer you have bairly enough bolt thread for 2 turns. I have been looking into possibly getting longer bolts but haven't founds anything yet. Unfortunatly you have to use the sacer ort they wont' mount. Anyway thats my story. I'm back to my old black steel wheels.
