Hi guys,

I have a stock vitara with a SL IMF the front and back. I would like to buy new tires and rims for it. So far I would buy 7jx15 5 139.7 ET-10. Would that be enough with 235 75 R15 MT tires or will it touch the body when turning?

Cheers

Michael

Yeah it will fit, i had -13's and had a little scrubbing so -10's would rub less. Wouldnt be anything to worry about tho.

If you can give them a test try before. You will also have to hit the callipers with the belt sander to fit 15's on a Vitara. I'm running -13 15x7 with 235/75/15 as dailies and they are fine but have hit the callipers with the sander to get enough clearance. Mine just touch the chassis rail but a small change to steering stops would solve that

Hey guys thanks for the information given. Unfortunately here it is so difficult to buy rims. "Yes we can offer this rim, but sorry not on stock and will not come back in soon..." Grrrr.

Anyway will continue searching. If I understand -10 or -13 should be fine, but a higher negative value should be better?! Like -20 or similar? What would you suggest is the highest negative value I should go for?

Cheers

Michael
