    I've always been a fan of the OEM+ look when modifying cars so it was an easy choice to grab these 19-inch forged Lexus NX F-Sport wheels for my Prius Prime.

    Decided to complement them with some Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s in 225/40R19 along with a 1.5-inch drop on some Tein High Tech springs.

    Prius Prime wheel: 17x6.5 +40 (22.5 pounds with cover)
    F-Sport wheel: 19x7.5 +39 (24 pounds)
    Prius Option Wheel: 19x6.5 +40 (28 pounds)

    OEM tire size: 195/60R17
    New tire size: 225/40R19

    Tire diameter loss: 3.2mm
    Ride height drop: 1.6mm

    Speedometer error: 0.48%
    Roughly 0.3 mph at 60 mph

    That new tire size should be 225/40R19 not R17.

    Looks great!

    You are correct. That's what I get for typing everything things too quickly.

    Those look great! Any rubbing or other issues with that wheel/tire combo and the drop?

    No rubbing or other interference issues. Only negative is the obvious loss of range since I increased the contact patch significantly along with the weight of the tire but fortunately I charge pretty frequently so it's not a huge impact on my overall economy.

    I averaged 44 miles of range before making any changes to the car. That increased to 45 miles once I lowered the car and has now dropped to 38 miles since I've installed the new wheels and tires.
