WANTED, A DONUT THAT WILL FIT MY PRIME. ANY KNOWLEDGE OF SPECS ETC. PLEASE DONT TELL ME THAT YEAR DOESNT HAVE A DONUT.
There is no storage for a spare, it is all battery under the cargo floor. So any spare you buy will be in the visible hatch area. An exterior mount would need a 2 inch receiver and play hell with aerodynamics, and I question if the hatch would open. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/cht-31006/overview/
The tire size for temp spare is T125/70D17 98M (just cribbed from the 2016 Prius Owner's Manual). The rim is: Wheel, Spare - 2016 Toyota Prius (4261147630) From this site, plugging in 2016 Prius, level 2: Wheel, Spare for 2016 Toyota Prius|42611-47630 : Toyota Online Parts | toyotaonlineparts.com | Toyota Parts Online Or you could use a 195/65R15 tire on a Corolla steel rim?
To update: I installed my spare, donut from my 2005, The only seeming difference is the radius to the edge of rubber tire on the car is 12"/ VS 11.5 inches with the donut. Mounted I took a test drive and did a few mild, but sudden turns and hit the brake. Reaction on L and R was the same , stability was good. Cost of tire at local junk yard is $28, CA. Maybe cheaper by you, every thing costs more here. If a legitimate product comes out eventually I'll look into it. How ever I feel confident that this will suffice. As previously recommended the Corolla donut 2003-2008 will do, same wheel as my donut from 2005. Photos above with new/old doughnut.
This speaks volumes: Toyota nixes the underfloor tray, the spare, and raises the hatch floor, 4~5 inches. If you want to come back from all these changes, this is where you end up.
As you see I carry stuff that most people do not, A Electric Jack, 1st aid kit, small tool kit, Air compressor, additional stuff in tire we'll emergency light( actually a headlight bulb, 12v Lith. battery, etc.
Sorry I never answered this, I have not posted for a while, answer is I don’t know, the dealers cannot give a intelligent answer! I just used what I knew as a known spare doughnut for a Prius Hybrid. Most reputable junk yards will allow you to return it, if incorrect.
I just got stuck with an unfixable flat on 2017 Prime, no spare, and had to buy 2 tires (need to replace both rear tires), which sizes are: Tire: 195 /65 R15 Wheel BOLT PATTERN: 5-100 Cost about $269 installed for 2, Discount Tire with my AAA discount of $10/tire It seems like I made two mistakes: 1. I never knew I had no spare, to plan for 2. I didn't ask for the 2nd good Toyota tire, with 26500 miles from Discount Tire, to keep as a spare (no rim), even if only in garage should one of the 2 old, remaining tires go bad, or at least as a spare. It looks like eBay has Donut spares for $99 + $25 shipping, which is worth buying. I want to see if the donut will fit behind the passenger seat on trips? Anyone tried? .
