Re: Wheels and tyres

I had a 2008 GV diesel, came with alloys but I got a spare set of genuine Suzuki 16" steel rims from the dealer and fitted 245/75 16s, this is the biggest tyre that will fit without rubbing. Not sure about 2013 but the earlier GVs had +45 offset, +20 should not cause any issues. I also had Iron...
