Help on Rims: size question

I don't know about 7.5", but a quick look on tirerack.com shows that 17"x7" will fit, and using 205/45 x 17" tire. Look further on tirerack and you may find 7.5"

Your investments must be doing better than mine!

yes 17" x 7.5" wide rims would work

 

My friend has 17x7.5 wheel on his PRIUS,
with 215/45-17 tire.

^0^

 

Agreed 17x7.5 with a 215/45/17 tire will fit but please dont forget about the wheel's offset

 

agreed. offset is very important. it doesn't have to be precise on a 17" or 18" on the prius as to other applications though, but it needs to be in a general vicinity. like my cts, i have 22's and its such a precise fit that even a little off will cause problems. i run a +40 offset on my cts and even a +38 will not work w/o modifications. but on the prius if your running a 17" rim you could probably go within -10 to +10 without any problems. it just matters how flush you want them to sit.

also 205/45/17 would be the closest overall height to the stock tires.

stock tires are: 185/65/15. which gives the overall height of 24.47"
205/45/17 would give you an overall height of 24.30"

and the 205 width is ideal for a 7.5" rim

 

yeah that will def work.

mine are 18 x 7.5 with a +50 offset.
