My plan is to strickly stick to the factory recommendation. That beeing said, the only option with 17 inch rim would be 215 55 R17. I would only like to see how it looks on a car. Can you post the photo of your car with 215 55 R17 here in topic? Thanks in advance....

Those tires are fine. They're a little bit short but that's no big deal. Are you sure that the wheels will fit? Most Vitaras had a different lug nut patten than the Kizashi does.

They are both 5x114.3 right? The only difference is that Vitara has thread M12x1.5 and Kizashi has M12x1.25. Vitara ET is 45 and Kizashi has ET 50. Can that be a problem?

1999 - 2005 is 5x5.5" (139.7 mm)
2006 - 2008 is 5x4.5" (114.3 mm) same as the Kizashi

The rims that I had in mind are the ones made for newer Vitara models from 2015-2018. If I am not wrong, these would fit just fine...
