I've been searching for months for some more the same as mine so I can have a matching spare. No joy yet.

You can buy brand new 15x10s quite cheaply.

Scotties are from a Fatboy Vitara too I think.

Yeah, same stud pattern and most have enough off set they don't require spacers.

What engine are you running? You are going to need to sort the gearing out to run larger tyres, even a 1.6 struggles with large tyres on standard gearing.

Might not be too bad gear wise on 410 axles, how long the axles last will be debatable though.
