Hey guys project shitara has become more reliable, now looking at lift and rubber. Currently on 235/75r15 on standard rims.
Leaning towards 30s. And probably m/t, maybe a/t.
Should have a 2 inch suspension lift soon, will consider body lift and dont mind giving the gaurds a flogging.
What rim width and offset do you vitara owners run? Assume mostly sunraysia rims, What width tyres have you gone for?

I have searched through endless vitara build threads and still stuck, any feedback would be great.
Cheers :)

I've run 15x7-12 and 16x7+5 on my old SE vitara. I think the +5 rims just rubbed on the chassis rails. The -12 took a fair bit of Hammering to fit.

I also run 15x7 with a -13 offset with 31's om my LWB Vit.
I have a 50mm BL and about 50mm suspension.
Needed minor guard massaging.
Original owner had 32-s on 16's with a -13
he had little clearance issues only.

Cool, it turns out I'm an idiot and they're -6. :oops:

If anyone cares, the specs are 15x7, -6 offset, CSA brand. I bought 2 from Tyrepower for $62 each. I didn't specifically ask but I did got the impression that black ones cost slightly more. :)
