Goofed up, meant to include in previoue reply. Re flat tire concern(s). Have been in outside sales for 10 years, never a flat during that time, averaging 50-55,00 mi per year. But, always purchased top shelf tires during that time. The oem tires on the fortwo are very good and I am not overly concerned about having a flat.<br /> You could always invest in run flats, for peace of mind.

Good info on sizing. What tire/wheel Suspension outlet are you using to source them?

Does anyone out there have concerns about the lack of a spare tire? I'm still kind of freaked out by this. I mean what happens if you're out in the boonies somewhere? And why don't they repair them? Seems kind of bad environmentally to merely replace the tire.

The Brabus ultimate 112 has 17's on the frt. and 18's on the rear. The suspension on that model is a good inch lower than our stock cars run so that would indicate it's not all that difficult to go to at least a full set of 17's as long as the overall diameter is really close to stock.<br /> <br /> Smarticus

Where are you sourcing, rims/tires, springs etc.? Been checking the web no success.

I'm working on putting some 17 at the moment. Will post when I get it done. 18 will probably fit, at least the rear. I think other issues will pop up though. What kind of springs you use?

I think it would be possible to put 18's in as smart offers 17's as a factory option and as long as you could get the thin enough rubber it could be possible. I have 15's on my smart and with the racing springs/lowering kit the wheels look huge and while I could go up in size I'm happy with the stiffness of the car at present.<br /> <br /> Sadly the city I'm in won't really allow me to drive daily on a 17/18 inch wheel as there are just too many pot holes, it wouldn't be long before I'd be denting the rims.…
