Tirerack.com offers a couple of 185-70-13s.....I know you are asking for 185/75/13 but thought I'd show you those anyway....

Discount Tires Direct offers a few in a 185-70-13

Will this size tire from a 94 swift fit a 94 Metro so I can get 13' tires?

Yes, just get bulge nuts for the 13" wheels on the smaller 10MM studs. Stock steel wheels will work ok. Aluminum aftermarket may require longer studs.

So If I get the tires and wheels including the stock bolts from the 94 Suzuki will I still need the Bulge Nuts?

The stock bolts from the Suzuki are 12MM and require drilling the hubs and rear brake drums to install. The nuts alone will not fit the original 10MM studs the Metro has.

Edit: Unless you change the bolts then, yes you still need the nuts.

I run the same size on my 91 vert. Can you tell me what I need to do to calculate proper mileage?
