Tires and Wheels from a Mercedes?
Hi All,
I'm looking for a little guidance.
I recently ordered a MCS and can't wait to get it! I'm likely going to use snow tires since I'm in Ontario, Canada. My father has some extra snows with rims. I'm wondering if I'll be able to use them. They're 16" 5-bolt 205/55/R16's. Anyone know if these would be suitable?
Thanks!
Adam

Oh, I'm guessing it's a no-go then. Too bad.
By the way, I love those reverse stripes!

Long Answer: No
The tires are too big.
The wheels probably have a RWD offset which is too little for your FWD. The Bolt pattern is wrong. The hub center could also be wrong but i would imagine the MINI is smaller so that would not effect anything, as long as you torqued the lugs down evenly.
