Is it a grand vitara? these are fitted as standard with 16" wheels as far as I'm aware to clear the front calipers.
I'm actually selling a set of 16" alloys and looking for some 16" steels, where in the country are you?

You might be able to do a top wheel deal and exchange, as flash1966 is about 40 miles from where you tyre is now located.
