Hello, I want to install winter tires on rims. The XSE has a 19 in diameter wheel. I want to go to a 17 wheel. I want to confirm if the brakes are the same size for the SE and XSE model. I am buying aftermarket rims and want to make sure there are no issues. I have checked all dimensions but I don't know about the brake size. Thank you.
Brake sizes don't vary by trim - there should be no problem fitting 17" wheels to the higher trims due to brakes. There is a shock absorber difference between the trims - presumably some tuning for the different tyre profiles. So maybe a 19" car with 17" wheels might be a bit softer than a car originally intended for 17"? The PHEV does have bigger front brake rotors than the HEV.
toyota installed my tire choice of snows tires on steel rims (225/55 r 17 xl 17” rims no problem over the brake rotors
