After checking the rims are only 15 X 5.5" . I was going to change them out for a set of 16" vit wheels and run 265/75 R16.

Do the vit rims work with the stud pattern without any issue?

You need the deeper and wider 16" Vitara wheels. the narrower ones with the lesser offset need wheel spacers or they foul on the track rod ends of the steering arm.

You'll want to upgrade you CV's with the torque of a diesel engine and big tyres I expect.

I have a set of 32mm spacers fitted - Will that be sufficent clearance for the Vitara rims?

The tyres I'm planning to run will be 235 85 16s in either a BFG KM2 M/T or else Maxxis Bighorns M/T. What upgrade would you suggest for the CV's?
