Mercedes wheels, 16" on 451?

[Okiesmrt]

Anyone done this yet with wheel adapters? I'm curious what wheel width to use. I see 7 and 7.5" on ebay.

Here's a place to start: 3 to 5 lug adapters

Thanks for trying but the link in that post is dead.
He used custom spacers too. I was looking more for "7" mercedes wheels and adapters fit great and the overall width is the same as the stock rear."

I would LOVE to see some monoblock IIs on a smart, I think that if someone did it right, they could look really freaking cool.

Johnny is the owner of that car and he was selling the spacers.. I think he still does have a few. he does custom miatas with corvette engines in them... yeah just a regular guy... with a wicked mind and a cool smart. His site is zenspeed.com

Call Jonny for your wheel spacers.. but go with these rims and forget the 16's... These 17 inch rims will look so much better on your smart.. check out these pictures.. I think the offset is 35 or 40 MM you might have to make a mock up using a block of wood to figure this out.. Also Boris at SmartMaddness should be able to help you.. Show him the pictures and go from there.. I was going to go with these rims but decided to go with the Lorinser Speedy's instead..

Aloha, Tim
