    Hey guys, i just got my 2014 Prius Three not III as Roman numerals were used for model year 2010) a couple of weeks ago, gas savings is awesome! This is my first Toyota and i have to say i'm really excited to turn it into a real head turner... I've seen some really sick Prius on the forum, i'd really appreciate some tips and mod options for my Prius. I've done my fair share of Mods before on my old cars but i honestly feel like the Prius is a whole different field so any advise and suggestions will be absolutely appreciated...

    Looking forward to make friends and seeing my car evolve on this forum:D

    Nice! Welcome to the Prius Fam. I just bought one a few weeks ago too. I lowered it about an inch or so and added some SSR Wheels SSRPrius.jpg

    No rubbing issues I only dropped the car an inch or so just so it fills the gap. For gas mileage I lost a few MPGs. It was worth it to me. The wheels are 20 lbs, still not bad.

    I'll have these installed today with a 5mm spacer. Hope they would turn out good.

    Looks great, but did you also use hubcentric rings to center the wheels? The FRS wheels do have a larger bore.

    You don't want the wheels centered solely with the studs/lugnuts, you want the hubs to center the wheels. You need something like these:

    IIRC, the spacers are only required to clear the rear caliper carriers. If you get confirmation on that, then you could get by ordering just a set of 2 adapters for your application.
