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
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.
