Thanks for the input. I think the consensus is that they should fit, without modification, but maybe they(2025 alloys) do not look right on a 2006 model. I think I will run it with whats on and maybe look at tidying them up. Any thoughts on where are welcome, I am based in Norfolk.

Got a set of Gen4 wheels and tyres cheap without doing any research - doh.
Didn't fit my Gen3, tyre diameter and offset way too much and they impinged on the guards.
I ended up taking my original Gen3 wheels and getting them dip-stripped, rust protected and powder-coated black - ended up cheaper than a new set of steel off-road wheels.
Tyre wise - I found the original Suzuki Gen3 tyres hard to find and VERY expensive for what they were (you could buy 32's or 33's for a Hilux cheaper).
Ended up finding a much cheaper mud-tyre from a local supplier that was almost the same dimensions as the orginal Suzuki spec tyres but about half the price - just because they were more common.
Was happy with the result.

They look good, all food for thought. Your info has sealed it for me to not go for new Gen wheels - thanks.

Then the wheels were not stock Suzuki wheels. I have transferred the same wheels and tyres from an SJ to a Gen 3 and then to the Gen 4. They were 215/80R15 tyres and the only issue was slight rubbing on the wheel arch liner on the Gen 3.
