    FWIW, it's pimping the Prime - not the Prius. ;)

    It is basically a Gen 4 underneath just pimped beyond recognition as a Gen 4.

    The rim will clear, no problem whatsoever (those are what I'm running; see earlier in this thread). However, tire clearance will depend on what specific size rubber you fit (I have no clearance issues w/my setup). Expect a 5 to 10 mpg hit on your observed mileage vs. stock, depending on tires used, your driving style and the terrain. Mine has been an excellent trade-off IMHO.

    It will slightly just because it's heavier (Unless you get the expensive forged alloys. The factory 15" are really light) and they will require larger tires which increases the contact patch (good for dry grip).

    The 15" are optimized but if you really want 16" or 17", go for it; you're not gonna lose so much that it'll negatively affect your fuel budget.

    Loving all the mods! Very inspiring, wish I had more $$$ and automotive tech knowledge. I'm going to hit up the library and see if they have a subscription to the Prius technical manuals.

    Looks amazing! I really wanted white, but had to settle for the grey.
