Rear Wheels 4 Sale ??

Anybody know where I can get some rear wheels and tires so I can put them on the front of my Passion cpe? I drive fast and the front tires are too skinny for my taste.

If anyone intersted, tires should have under 1k miles. I live in Miami Dade County. Thanks.

I was thinking of getting another front?

Howdy
I was thinking of getting another front (1) to use as a spare?
How much for wheel & tire and shipping?

I'd be happy to oblige, though I have not found anyone interested in selling their stock wheels yet.

Watch putting rear wheels on front. The offsets are different between front and rear. The wheels available for the front to use the 175's (Europe) are different than the stock rear wheels in offset. You may run into handling problems or premature bearing wear.

on the NA 451, '08 SMarts...only 1.5MM or .060"...not enough to worry about really. I have 175's on the 5.5 inch wide wheels (rear) all around and the car handles WAY better than with the 155's and 4.5 inch wheels.

Well it is not easy to find someone interested in selling just the rear wheels.
I think it will be easier to buy an entire set. Then I can use all 4.5 rims for a long trip, and all 5.5 rims for local driving.
So maybe I should reset the request to ask if anyone is selling an entire set of wheels with low miles.
