I dont think they do jeep flares for vitaras, We tried putting a set on my mates and the bodys are to rounded.
Also, If you dont plan on running rubber flares, Im guessing you dont go 4x4ing? If you have hard plastic or metal flares with no bounce the minute you hit something on teh flares your going to either tear screws or dent up your body..
Most Autobarn and 4x4 places sell the 35-70mm flexi flares. they do teh job well and are legal..

Jeep flares would stick out way to far with 30's on.
A put duraflares on mine, expensive but theyre already shaped for the vitara wheel arch and a very neat option IMO.
Even though ive trimmed mine for play tyres

What they said.
I'm running Bushranger flexi-flares, which are pricey but look nice and neat, and will cop quite a bit of punishment.

im running jeep cherokee flares. Well. I was. Join one of the jeep forums and ask if anyone has a set lying around the yard. NOT WRANGLER FLARES. You can try wrangler flares if u like but i have no experience in them. I got mine for free, but new they are worth around 300 dollars a set. i didnt mount mine properly. If u like drilling holes in your car they are the flares for you.
