    Can someone explain here pls?

    Are we replacing just the stock tyres, or both with the wheels?

    Can the tyres be modified, while the stock wheels are in place?

    Will try my best.
    Sounds like many in this thread are increasing ground clearance or ride height by replacing the existing tires with other tires of a greater width / aspect ratio. One mentioned increases in height by using coil over shocks, others with rear air springs, and some have tried placing rubber blocks or spacers in the springs (pretty sure there was another option that I missed).

    No (but I could be wrong). You must first remove the wheels from the vehicle before mounting any tires.

    I’m

    I’m in the same boat. Since I purchased my Prius the front number keeps getting damaged. I replaced it twice already. It’s simply too low for roads, driveways, medians in my town. I always thought I would replace the prius with another car but it’s fully paid now and I love the car. It’s humble compared to all the Porsche and Audi SUVs in my neighborhood and I’m committed to keep it. I know zilch about cars and I would appreciate if someone could recommend a shop that can put the new tires and the air springs?? I read in this post to raise the car.
