Those look like vitara wheels definitely not Jimny ones.

Ah I see. Same pcd and presumably hub diameter. Maybe someone does spacers for the Vitara. Surprised there are non for the Jimny anywhere.

Last time I needed a spare steel wheel I got one from KAP Suzuki for a tenner. Might be worth seeing what they want for a set then you are not going to have a fitment issue.

I see your point, but having spent over £100 swapping the wheels and tyres from my Landy, I was hoping for a cheaper option. The rims run so close that the track rod end bush has been torn. I did wonder at that before, when I replaced it but thought it was just general wear and tear. So, that being said, I think the best option, and hopefully more straight forward one will be to put bolt on wheel spaces as per my 90. I don't need them very thick. As little as 10mm would do, but I have not seen them that thin unless someone know of other, please.

Balance beads do away with the need for wheel weights, maybe that is enough to get you away? Ceramic ones are best 
Ive never seen a spacer as small as 5mm for a jimny. It would work and require longer studs, but best avoid spacers if possible.

Sorry, don’t get on much these days…
iive got an unused pair here, yours for a fiver if you want them…
Those are SWB Grand Vitara wheels, LWB ones are deeper dished, I.e. better offset.
Vitara wheels are 15”, Grand Vitaras are 16” so as you’ve said give more choice of tyres as they match Land Rovers…
