    I have a set of Bridgstone Blizzak LM-60's 215/45/18 tires and 5x100 rims that I had on my 2006 Subaru Legacy. They were only used one season and have been in storage. I haven’t had much luck driving my 2007 Prius in the winter time and wondered if I could swap out the tires this season, without damaging the car, if not I will probably be trading it in for something with AWD. Will these tires and rims fit?

    depends on the back spacing of the wheels. if they have sufficient back spacing, you should be fine. I would mount them up, and if they don't stick out too far, you should be fine. I'm running 215/55r16 tires with 40mm back spacing and there is slight rubbing occasionally if I drive aggressively, but no damage. next question is how tall are the blizzaks?

    I have SSR comp-c 215/45/17 wheels that were originally for a Subaru, I think you might be fine, like 69shovlhed said "depends on the back spacing...". Mount them up and try them out. Make sure to take pictures and let us see how they look!
