I think I'm right in saying you mean the early Vitara wheels rather than the Grand Vitara wheels, ie these
The seller of these had them on his Jimny and didn't even realise they were Vitara wheels, so I think you'll have no trouble fitting them but I don't know if they have the same offset. Even if the offsets were different you'd be OK if you used matching pairs on each axle. The only other thing to bear in mind would be tyre size. The Jimny comes with 205/70/15 as standard, I'm not sure what are fitted to those Vitara wheels (could be 195/80/15). You can use a tyre calculator (just google to find one) to see if there's much difference in rolling circumference.
For what its worth, if those wheels weren't so far away I'd have snapped them up at the £40 asking price.

Hi, thank you for the info'. It's not the tyres I'm interested in it is the wheels. I will be replacing the tyres. I need 6 wheels in total and already have 4, so I need them to match.

There's not much in it but they have a lesser offset than Jimny wheels. About 5mm I think from memory. So although they'll fit, Jimny ones are much better.
