    Hi all,

    I have a 2010 IV prius with stock OEM 15" tires (195/65-15). I've been considering getting snow tires for the upcoming Minnesota winter (first winter with the Prius). I was going to purchase some used Corolla wheels for the snow tires. But then remembered that I have stored, a set of old 1998 Audi A4 Stock wheels 205/60-15. My question is, will the Audi Wheels work for the 2010 prius ok? Are there any negative affects of doing this? is it safe? Any insights are appreciated.


    Thanks!

    My beleif is that the Audi has a 5X112 lug nut pattern, while the Toyota uses a 5X100 pattern, sorry

    And don't forget to check on how much the new wheels—any of them—weigh. Unsprung weight is not a good thing.

    Correct - even in 1998 Audi was running 5x112 lugs, so no dice! (Older VW wheels however, are 5x100...)
