16 inch wheels and tires on Jimny was created by FIRSTJIMNY

I'm interested in changing to 16 inch wheels and tires.
Would like to hear from someone who has made this change.
Can you use 16's from other Suzuki models or specific aftermarket wheels?
What size tires work good with this and will stay under the factory flares.
Any and all information you would like to share. Thanks in advance.

The above wheels are the right ones, be aware that there are other similar 16" Grand Vitara wheels that are not as wide and do not clear the brake calipers.

Look for the deep dish in the centre.

Aftermarket ones are hard to find.

Nice one mate how does it run. Does it struggle on hills.I have a few mods on mine with the 15" rims and big aggressive off road tyres 29" but id like the Vitara rims for the extra clearance. Might have to treat myself.
