Anything over 18" on a Yaris is ridiculous. Actually, 18's are a bit too big themselves. 17's are perfect.
18's too big???

Nothing wrong with 4 lugs. The Smart has 3! Just think of it this way, if you ever have to change a tire it's one less nut to deal with.

I looked into some 5 lug conversions. I wanted to do it because I had some nice Volks (CE28N, 17 x 7) I wanted to keep and re-use. Nothing wrong with that, right?

however, the only conversion I could find would mean conversion spacers that were at least 1" thick. That didn't work for me or for the stock body on the Yaris.

Wow, didn't know that. I don't know of any aftermarkets with 3 lugs. That sucks if you want to change your wheels.

Sweet looking Smart though!
