Yeah, you can get 16" Suzuki fitment from some grand vitaras and LJ's but these can be rare on the ground as lots of people want 16" rims for their SJ's, this is because 16" is the same size as landrover and there is a larger choice of tyres. You can also get spacer/adaptors that change the stud pattern from Suzuki to say landrover then you can use landrover rims (like these http://www.jimnybits.co.uk/shop/wheel-s ... d_555.html) which should be easier to find, the down side would be the depth of the spacers - although some people want spacers so it might not be an issue,

16" Suzuki fitment wheels are easy to find new, quite a few places sell them.

There's plenty of tyres available for 15" rims anyway.

Like Scottie said I love my Maxxis Bighorns and the company as a whole as they replaced my tyre that picked up some sidewall damage free of charge.

Proper quality rubber on a purpouse designed brand new carcass. Grip incredibly well on tarmac for a mud tyre and very quiet and light for their size compared to a remould.

Ok thanks :D . Odd question that probably has a very simple answer, but why does the metal plaque under my bonnet say "SJ500" not sj413?
