I'd wager the local wreckers up here have a set. What specific dimensions are you after? Want me to look into nabbing a set for you to pick up on your next road trip?

14x5.5 with an offset of about 40+ I would wager. 114.3 Stud pattern.
How close am I, Mark?

I got pintara rims for mine, 14x5.5" see them on my alto thread, they look about just the right offset, too. Havent put tyres on them yet but i'm just about to order some 165/55R14's for them, i'll let you know if they scrub on the alto.

Swift GTI rims are 14x5.5 with an offset of about +35. I had a set of 14x6 from a Swift and they would have fit the ute with 175/50/R14 tyres.

this may sound odd, but im not planning on lowering it, so what are the tallest tyres i can squeeze under it?

Is this for another ute you've picked up? You should be able to get 165/75/14 tyres on there if you're not lowering it.

Yep, the stock GTi wheels are steel 14x5.5 - in fact there is a guy on Redline at the moment from Sydney who is selling a set with rubber.

Err, the black Swift kit? If you call trimming 20+cm in width off the bar and re-fibreglassing it back together "minor work" then yeah it would be easy.
