From my junkyard scrounging, I think I looked at the swift rims and I don't think they would work, however I'm not 100% sure. I was looking for 12 inch rims. Rims from a Nissan Micra will (12 inch rims).

The Suzuki rims are like those on a Geo Metro. The bolt pattern is 4 on 125. The Justy is 4 on 100. Honda, Volkswagen, Nissan and maybe some others use the 4 on 100 pattern. So, the Suzuki wheels will NOT fit. I have an 88 Justy 4WD that had factory 12" wheels. I recently converted to 13" wheels. The ride and steering response improved BIG TIME!! Something you may want to try. Jim

So when you converted to 13" wheels, did you have to do some swapping of other parts (like hub, struts, rotor, etc)? I compared the setup on 12" and a 13" Justys, and the hub appeared beefier on the 13".

Gen 1 Justys (84-88) had smaller axle shafts than the Gen 2 Justys (89-95) but, the bolt pattern is the same. You can bolt on the 13" wheels no problem. Here in the US 89- 94 Justys came with 13" wheels on the GL and 12" wheels on the DL the hubs were identical but, the brake roters are larger. Good Luck, Jim

I put 13 alloys on my justy. You can see the pics in member's rides section. I bought the rims with an resin adapter ring that fits inside the rim. M winter tires are also on 13's, this time Opel Corsa rims, with 1mm shaved on the lathe from the inside. There are a lot of cars with 4x100 bolt pattern, but the axle openings can be different. No problem unless they are way bigger...

i tried Vauxhall fitment before (for some Revolutions - mmmm!), the offset was too high (44 i think) and needed HUGE spacers and longer bolts, they also would have needed the centre bore machined bigger.
i think Renault clio wheels are identicle offset and pcd. if you could find a decent set of williams rims i'd be very jelous!!
if you do a google search you can find web pages of all the manurfacturers wheel specs in a list. i printed it off and went through highlighting all the ones that would fit. i think i only got 3 other cars in the end and had a look at the wheels. i decided to get aftermarkets from a uk company who made them to my spec - no spacers, no rubbing arces, no long bolts and no heat welded rear cylinders, so i made a good choice i think!
im sure rally24 team used honda civic wheels come to think of it...
the hardest part of 'borrowing' wheels from the other cars was the centre bore was never big enough

Just 1mm was enough for GM/Opel Corsa rims. Very cheap, and good for winter tires.
