Fitting wheels on a Smart Fortwo axe avant

A Smart Fortwo axe avant (1998–2007) uses a 3x112 or 4x100 PCD and a centre bore of 57.1 or 60.1 mm. Any wheel must match the vehicle's PCD exactly: there is no tolerance, unless you use a PCD adapter.

  • PCD: 3x112 or 4x100 required. See all vehicles with 3x112.
  • Centre bore: the wheel must have a centre bore of 57.1 mm or more. If it is larger (as with most aftermarket wheels), add a hub centric ring wheel centre bore → 57.1 mm.
  • Offset: the original is ET22 to ET38. Compare your future wheel with the offset calculator (your vehicle is already selected) to see how many millimetres further in or out it will sit.
  • Fixings: thread M12x1.50, tightened to 110 Nm. The nuts or bolts must have the same seat (conical, spherical or flat) as the wheel.
  • Tyres: original fitment is 135/70R15, 195/50R15, 165/65R15. For another size, check the diameter difference with the equivalence calculator (under 3 % recommended).
