Suzuki Swift / Cultus sedan 2nd gen (SF) wheel fitment
The second-generation Swift saloon is a very light, narrow car on small 13- and 14-inch wheels, so most owner upgrades are a modest 14- or 15-inch alloy with a slightly lower-profile tyre. It shares its four-stud hub with the Swift hatchbacks and the Geo and Chevrolet Metro, and wheel databases show no change across the run, so the later facelifted saloons take the same wheels. Most documented owner setups come from Metro and Swift hatchback owners, whose arches and hubs are shared.

Explained in our guides
Read these before choosing wheels for the Swift / Cultus sedan: they explain the offset, fitment and hub numbers in this guide.
- Wheel offset explained: choosing ET without guessingUnderstand positive and negative wheel offset, calculate inner clearance and outer position, and choose an ET using measurements from your own car.
- Flush, poke and tucked fitment: measure the whole tyreUnderstand flush, poked and tucked wheels, calculate how width and offset change the look, and check clearance beyond a parked side-on photograph.
- Hub-centric vs lug-centric wheels: choosing hub ringsLearn what hub rings do, how to specify their inner and outer diameters, and why centring, wheel seats and vibration need separate checks.
Popular community setups
Starting points for a build. Read the notes with each setup, especially if your car is lowered or has different brakes.
15-inch, 195/45 tyre
- Front and rear
- 15 × 6.5 inch, ET38 · 195/45 R15
A Metro convertible owner on the Geo Metro Forum reports 15x6.5 ET38 with 195/45 R15 tyres on lowering springs and no clearance problems. Steering is heavier at parking speeds.
15-inch, 195/50 tyre
- Front and rear
- 15 × 6.5 inch, ET40 · 195/50 R15
A common Geo Metro Forum setup. One owner lowered about 1.5 inches reports slight rubbing at the rear arch lips until they were rolled, and none at the front.
15x6 high offset, lowered
- Front and rear
- 15 × 6 inch, ET46 · 195/50 R15
A lowered 1991 Metro owner on the Geo Metro Forum runs 15x6 ET46 with 195/50 R15. He rolled the front arches, and the tyre still touches the frame at full steering lock.
Width and offset guidance
Offset range
Check the exact setup
There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.
Common width limit
Measure before ordering
A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.
These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.
Clearance notes
- The hub is 4x114.3 with a 60.1 mm bore. Many 4x114.3 wheels are made for larger cars with bigger bores, so use hub-centric rings.
- Sources disagree on the wheel nut thread. Wheel databases list M12x1.25, while parts catalogues list M10x1.25 studs and nuts for Geo Metros. Check a nut from your car before buying aftermarket nuts.
- 195-width tyres on 15-inch wheels are about the limit. Owners report 195/50 R15 rubbing at the rear arch lips and on the inner front arch at full lock, while 195/45 R15 usually clears. Two owners found taller 195/60 R15 tyres rubbed.
- Documented owner setups sit between ET38 and ET46. Forum regulars warn that much above ET45 rubs on the inside of the arch, and that a 15x7 ET35 wheel is too wide for the arch lips.
- The documented owner setups come from Swift hatchback, Metro and Metro convertible owners. The saloon has the same hub and bolt pattern, but check rear clearance on a lowered saloon.
- Check full steering lock and suspension travel with the car loaded. Match wheel load rating, tyre load and speed ratings, fastener seats and brake clearance.

Questions
What is the bolt pattern of a 1989–2003 Suzuki Swift sedan?
4x114.3 with a 60.1 mm centre bore, the same as the Swift hatchbacks and the Geo and Chevrolet Metro of the period.
Do later (1996–2003) Swift sedans take different wheels?
No. Wheel databases list the same bolt pattern, bore and factory sizes for early and late cars, so later saloons take the same wheels.
Will Geo Metro wheels fit a Swift sedan?
Yes. Metro wheels share the 4x114.3 pattern, 60.1 mm bore and ET45 factory offset. The Metro's 155/80 R13 tyre is a little taller than the Swift's 155/70 R13.
What is the biggest wheel and tyre owners fit without arch work?
15x6.5 at around ET38 to ET40 with 195/45 R15 tyres is the most reliable owner setup. A 195/50 R15 often needs the arch lips rolled, especially on a lowered car.
What is the wheel nut torque?
We couldn't confirm a single figure. Published values for this generation range from about 60 to 100 Nm, so use the figure in your car's handbook or service manual.
What size tyres does the Suzuki Swift / Cultus sedan 2nd gen (SF) have?
Factory tyre (tire) sizes for the 1989–2003 Suzuki Swift / Cultus sedan 2nd gen (SF) are 155/70 R13, 165/65 R14 and 155/80 R13, depending on trim. Your tyre placard shows the size for your car.
What wheel size does the Suzuki Swift / Cultus sedan 2nd gen (SF) use?
Factory wheels are 13 × 4.5 inch and 14 × 5 inch, depending on trim. The stock table lists the offset for each.
What is the Suzuki Swift / Cultus sedan 2nd gen (SF) centre bore?
60.1 mm. Aftermarket wheels with a larger bore need hub-centric rings sized to it.
