Adapters What size to use?

Hello to all,

I am looking for some help in locating wheel adapters for this set up.

The rims are OEM Mercedes 5 spoke with +35mm off set lugs are 5x112mm Not quite sure about the center core. but I have seen them on another smart... I think they look great. By the way the rims are 17x7.5 and I plan to run 205/40/17 tires.. I guess this will work. If anyone has had experiance with these rims or adapter please help me. Also if anyone knows of any problems running this set up let me know..

Aloha, Tim

Sorry not sure how to uplaod photos.. I will work on it.

Hi, i have 7.5 x 17" alloys ET45 with 195/40/17 all round with 3 to 5 stud adapters 20mm front 25mm rear and lowered on H&R springs this set up works perfectly IMO, so ET35 would make them stick out 10mm more, probably still be ok, its up to you.
