As far as I know, the Prius II's wheels offset is 45mm max. What if I install the wheels with 50mm? Will work? Thanks!
That is the stock tire size for the Prius V/Five. I have those on my car with the OE 17' wheels but I have no idea what the offset is. I am sure that somebody here does. I think it is maybe 40mm? Posted from my iPhone via the Tapatalk app.
Those are hot. Worst case scenario, you'll need spacers. Would the seller let you try them on first? These rims come in a lot of sizes/options and they're not discontinued so maybe there's a good chance you can find another set from another seller...?
haha, since those are 2nd hand rims but in good condition and very attractive price. So, no options ! Maybe spacers are the solution~ Is the PIII in same specification for the wheels installation? As I found that somebody here installed the wheels which are 50 offset...
ken1784 mentioned here: http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii-2010-prius-main-forum/62433-weight-2010-17-inch-oem-rims.html So, is there anybody knows the offset size of PII is just same as PIII ? thanks.
You should be okay running the +50 offset. My rims are 16s with a 50 offset and my tire width is 205. Like Mac said, you could always use spacers.
I found this it may help. http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp I got the link above from this thread. http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=229135 Hope that helps. Posted from my iPhone via the Tapatalk app.
I'd caution going too extreme on offset unless you plan on keeping the car at stock height. If you lower the car then offset will become more critical. Obviously at any height you'll have to consider if the wheel will clear the struts. Push the offset too much and you'll sink the wheels so far into the wheel well (positive offset) that the car will look goofy and it may negatively affect handling. The more you push the wheels outside the wheel well (negative offset) the better the handling (within reason).
Thanks all bros' information. Finally I've given up the 2nd hand Rays and bought the brand new Sparco 17 old model together with Bridgestone GR90 215/45/R17. ;-) Photos: http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-ii-prius-modifications/93859-kenstyle-body-kits.html#post1329821
The car looks great. Do they not sell LRR 215/45/17s in your area? I see that the GR90 is generally not a U.S. tire.
I am not so familiar in cars. But seems we have no LRR in the market. Just surfed on the web, Bridgestone seems does not sell GR90 in US market.
You can check my list of LRR tires available in your size and see if they sell them in your market area. http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii...resistant-replacement-tires-current-list.html
According to the Prius specs it can take a range from +35mm to +48mm. I don't want to mislead you but there was a forum which I read that the Prius V 17" OEM Wheels are +50mm. If this is not true then you can always put spacers. I've been looking around to put some 17" Corolla XRS with +39mm on my Prius II, which so far I believe it will work since they stay in the 35-45 range.
