Technical data
>Note!
Freedom of motion can only be guaranteed
if the manufacturer's recommended
wheels and tyres are used. Other wheel
and tyre sizes may damage the braking
system.
>Note!
If wide tyres are fitted on vehicles
equipped with a diesel engine, the qualify
ing conditions for a 3 litre car will not be
satisfied. In this case, the car's exemption
from road tax will be nullified.

>Note!
To maintain sufficient clearance between
wide tyres fitted at the front and the vehi
cle body, the technique used to fix the
front body panel has to be modified. The
professional work can be performed by
your qualified specialist workshop (e.g. a
smart center).
To ensure that the rear wheels are shield
ed as required by law, a modified fixing
technique is likewise used on the fortwo
cabrio. On the fortwo coupé, special black
trim elements are fitted on the wheel
arches.
