Aftermarket Wheel Fitment Guidelines

I'm debating on holding out for a 2020 Prime so in the process of "researching" options. Would really love to see the wheels on the Prime!

 

Sounds good to me! Gives me time to find a replacement set of OEM wheels and tires for the 2012 Prius. Then when the 2020 comes these Performance plus wheels are going on ASAP!

 

I took a photo of my car today right next to a Prius Prim so the cars were in the same picture at the same distance. I then copied the wheels from my car and pasted exactly where they would fit on the new prius. Looks good!

 

Well I couldn't wait so I picked up a 2019 Prime Advanced. Swapped the wheels and tires over and couldn't be happier! Car looks and performs so much better. Feels planted and I'm not noticing any decrease in MPG.

 

Yes the Primes 15" wheels/tires went on the 2012 Prius.

 

1.) They are Toyota Performance Plus 17" forged wheels which are 17" x 7" x 43mm.
2.) Weight per wheel is 19-20lbs
3.) Tire size is 215/45/17
4.) Running Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ which weigh 23lbs each.
5.) Weight for both tire/wheel is around 43lbs vs 33lbs for the stock 15" setup.

 

Anyone know the specs of stock FRS/BRZ wheels? Thinking of putting them on my 2017 Prius Prime. Will I need hub rings or spacers to make them work? Thanks!

Why do 17” still look small on the prime?!
any picture of 18” wheels?

 

Hi Rob - thanks for this thread. Super helpful. I just picked up a set of used 2013 FRS wheels. The specs are 17x7 with an offset of 48mm. Can you tell or link me to what spacers you would recommend?

 

First of, you sir (Rob43) have definitely made the one and only thread everyone should be reading about. Thank you for all the info, seriously...

After spending the last week or so researching this topic I have come very close to finding my setup

Wheels:
Fast wheels
Model #: FC04
Size:17x8
P.C.D.:5x100
Offset:+35 or +45
Finish Titanium
Bore: 72.6 mm
Seat: 60°
Lip Size: N/A
Weight: 17.0 lbs (16.2 lbs after a call to the manufacturer)
Load Rating: 1521 lbs / 690 kg
Winter Approved Finish: Yes


Tires:
General tire
ALTIMAX RT43 (H- OR V-SPEED RATED) - SIZE: 215/45R17

continental
EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06 - SIZE: 215/45ZR17

Wheels are 16.2lbs (after a call with the manufacturer)
both tire options are 20 lbs ea
For a grand total of 36.2lbs give it or take plus tpms and wheel weights

My brain is about to explode after all this research but the only obvious drawback of this setup that I can think of is the wider 8" wheel and the tire being 215 instead of 205.
I think weight I have it mostly under control and besides the extra contact area I dont see much more room for improvement. Since I am going to do massive amounts of driving I have to be MPG conscious. What should I expect on MPG loss with this setup?


And Also does anyone have actual numbers for weight on the FRS wheels?

 

Just had a look but unfortunately I cannot order from that supplier because Im in Canada... dammit

 

@Rob43 - I tried to mount them and will definitely need some spacers as it is hitting the caliper. I am trying to figure out which spacers I need. I am thinking 5mm might be ok but i thought if the OE offset is 40 and these are 48, do I need to get 8mm spacers? Also if I get more than 5mm spacers, will i need stud extensions?

Related question - the wheels that I picked up had TPMS already installed in them. After checking the prius chat forum, I am guessing that I need to have either the dealer or a tire shop register the TPMS' in my 2017 prius prime?

I weighed them and with Michelin Primacy 215/45/17 tires mounted, they came in at 39.5 lbs. Pics attached.
