Max tyre size on stock '98-'05 GV's
Wednesday, 11 April 2007
The biggest tyre to fit on these standard GV's is 225/70R16.


But there is a catch. It will fit without additional modifications, on GV's supplied with 235/60R16 tyres only. You may run into troubles when you try to use 225/70R16 tyres on the models fitted with 215/65R16 tyres.

Suzuki used to fit the 215/65R16 tyres on 16 x 6 1/2J rims, while the 235/60R16's are fitted on 16 x 7JJ rims. The negative offset on the former rims is 12/13mm smaller than the negative offset on the latter rims.

So when you want to fit 225/70R16 tyres on your GV, you really want the 16 x 7JJ rims. The other option is to use wheelspacers to compensate for the smaller offset!
