Dealer could not mount 17 OEM wheels?? ABS troubles?? Help..

I would go with the dealer on this one. Since you can have a 16" wheel, go with that and exchange the tires for the 16" size. You go against the dealer, and IF you have a drivetrain problem, the warranty may not cover the problem!
Liability sucks, but it's there for a reason!

 

Go get it installed at independent tire shop. There are tons of 2010 Prius with 17" without issues.

SPH-L900 ? 2

 

The 2010 Prius V came with 17" P215/45/R17 wheels/tires. I don't believe there was any difference in the suspension on any of the models, so the 17's should fit. Whether the dealer wants the liability is their choice, but there are plenty of other places around to mount your tires.

 

walmart will do it, just bring them in and mount the rims on yourself

 

Maybe not tons, since the majority of Prii come with 15" wheels. The Prius 5, and the Prius V 5, come with factory 17" wheels. Plus many other Prius owners have gone with the Prius 5 17" wheel, as well as plenty others with 16-19" aftermarket wheels.

Plenty of tire stores and automotive repair centers will mount and install factory and aftermarket wheels and tires. I only take my wheels to a quality tire installer that guarantee "no damage" mounting with excellent results.

I thought I read the Prius V 17" wheels don't fit the Prius hatchback? Not sure on this. But, the Prius 5 17" wheels work well. I purchased a used set of Prius 5 wheels and mounted them on my new 2012 Prius within a week of delivery. I had new set of TMPS installed, but never took the car back to have them coded to the car, but I will. If the speedometer is off, it only by a small percentage and not a issue. Vehicle factory or extended warranty won't be affected unless you went with a extreme size (22-24"). Very little truth in what your dealer told you. Again, I'm not sure if the Prius V 17" wheels fit the Prius hatchback.

 

Read the OP more carefully. He's using the Roman numeral IV for Four so it follows that V is the Roman numeral for Five. It's just sementics.

The dealer is full of BS. The 2010 came stock with 17" wheels on the highest trim and they'll fit with no problems. No warranty will be voided.

 

Makes sense, I overlooked the Prius IV part. He's old school and I'm new school regarding Prius 5 and Prius V (wagon). Do the Prius V (wagon) 17" wheels fit the Prius hatchback?

I'm reviewing the wiring for the JDM LED mirrors tonight. Mirror are in, and I'll be wiring up tomorrow. Thanks for you input on that post.

 

Toyota used Roman numerals for the trims in 2010 and switched to written out numbers in 2011 and on. Their official designation for the wagon is actually lower case italized v but many people don't know any better and use V/v interchangeably to pronounce "vee" for the wagon. The Roman numeral V is still pronounced "five" in English hence the massive confusion.

No, the Prius v wagon 17" wheels won't fit the hatchback.

 

Get someone (competent) that can mount your wheels, tires, TMPS sensors, without damage, and can code the sensors to your car as a package. The Prius 5, 17" wheel makes a dramatic impact when upgrading from the 15" factory wheel. You have everything you need, just follow through. Only negative is a small loss of MPG, but Prius owners have it to spare.

 

Total BS, they can't void your warranty. Just have another shop do it.

 

The oem wheels are always 2mph off at 50mph according to the cars speedo, if the outer size of the new wheels is the same size as oem, the speedometer will be 2mph off, but the advantage of going larger in overall size is that you can correct the speedometer in the car, well, put the proper size tire on to get the correct reading.

The car doesn't know what size rim it has, it only knows the overall diameter of each wheel, and if they differ it will turn off the stability control, and that will shut off the ice when going over 32mph

The dealer is wrong, find another person to mount, then have the dealer do the tpms code
And get your money back for the extended coverage, great scheme, for the dealer

 

Some tire shops like Costco have a blanket policy not to install any non-OE sizes merely for "cover your nice person" liability reasons (although I've managed to beat Costco's policy once in the past by fooling them into special ordering tires in a specific size without revealing what car I had). It has nothing to do with incompatibility and your dealer just successfully fed you FUD and BS.

You'll be fine. Educate yourself on the Magneson-Moss Warranty Act. It's illegal for them to deny or void the warranty without proving that the wheels directly caused the said defect and the burden of proof is on them.

 

Congrats! Looks great!

 

Look very good! On a dark car the wheel gap doesn't show as much. With the door garnish looks very stylish! Glad people were able to help you through the BS. Don't forget to rep (like).
