Aftermarket Wheel Fitment Guidelines

Thanks, Rob. I forgot to ask if the Gen 4 fitment is the same as for Gen 3. Kind of important info to know. Ray's intended the Super Eco 17x7 50 inset for the Prius Gen 3, so that's what got me thinking that the Advan 50 inset would also fit nicely.

I get that Toyota probably did a bit of calculating when they decided to put these 15" wheels on the Prime. However, they look terrible in my opinion. Literally the only thing about the exterior styling that I don't like. I'm also aware that this will most likely impact fuel economy. My commute is 6 miles and I charge it every night. So as long as I can still get 12 miles in EV mode I'm not super concerned.

That being said, has anyone put the 2015+ Corolla S wheels on a Prius Prime? I've seen it on a regular Prius and it looks pretty good.

 

That's pretty heavy. I think the FRS/BRZ wheel/tire combo is 37lbs

 

I'm still looking into the fitment issue, but I did find out that the 17x7 Advan RT weighs in at 7 kg. (15.4 lb). I'd love to see photos of a Prius with the 17x7 with +50 inset. I want to see what the wheel's "face" looks like—concave-ish I hope, but what if it's a bit on the convex side? I somehow doubt if the 17x7 will look exactly like the RT in the photos I posted earlier (don't know what size that one is), but if the 17x7 +50 is acceptable to look at and fits with no problems, I think this would be a perfect wheel for my purposes.

 

This is the FRS Wheel with a 215/45 tire on it.

 

Aesthetics (design and colour), weight, size and proper fitment—an extremely hard combination to find. An altogether frustrating process, and you end up with just a handful of candidates if you're lucky.

 

FK Ethos wheels purchased at Costco/via Velox, love the new look! @Rob43

Day pics! I absolutely love how much sportier these wheels make the Prime look. The biggest advantage is that they also make the wheels look bigger than they actually are (especially from a distance) because of their color and style.

 

Nice combination of colors, with tinted windows and sharp wheels.

 

Hello! This is my very first post on this forum. I just purchased a 2019 Prius Prime 3 weeks ago and am loving it so far. I live in CO and have only seen 2 Primes in the last 4-5 months!
Anyway - I don't care for the wheel size and would like to upgrade to 17" tires. What is the process of getting the speedometer calibrated after upgrading the tire size? Will tire shops do this for an extra charge or do I need to take the car to a dealership?

 

19"x8.5 rims fits well. Will it increase gas mileage?

 

Has anyone mounted some Prius PLUS 17-In. Split 5-Spoke Forged Wheels on their Prius Prime? I'm considering getting a Prime (upgrading from my 2012 Prius Performance Plus edition) and one of the things I really love about my car are the factor forged wheels. Would love to see how they look on the car. Weight shouldn't be a big concern as they are only 20lbs each being forged.

Thanks!
