15 inch rims are the right size of wheel for your surf if you have a lift kit on your surf or are wanting to do one you can step up to a 16 inch rim bot this will push up your mpg and you will lose power and your surf will knead a derv tanker strapped to its ass you can put up to 33inch tyres on your rims but you will have to do a lift first so that the new wheel & tyre have the room under the wheel arch hope you & your surf have a long n muddy life

Hey!! Welcome to the site mate!

best tyre size to go for is 31x10.50r15 check out www.camskill.com <-- cheap!! get some chunky tyres on an it will make a huuge difference in looks. Judging by the size i would say yours is a prefacelift model! they look great on larger tyres!!

a 16" rim wont make any difference in power or mpg. its the overall diameter of the tyre that effects them. My old 16" alloys were better on fuel then my new 15"
