I have looked into it for a second car for my spouse, but I didn't think it would work where we live. The roads here are a total mix of speed limits - and one section is 45 max and all drive 60. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Next Gen relase date - April 2009 No matter how big the rims, the outer wheel size is always the same anyway. The only reason it normally wouldn't/couldn't support large rims is weight. So if Toyota makes a lightweight (and strong) rim that has the same total weight with tire and the 15", then there is no issue. |

To get the same acceleration/braking performance with a larger wheel/tire combo as the smaller wheel/tire combo, you would need a wheel/tire combo that is lighter than the one you are replacing. | |

Friends: 0 | Re: Next Gen relase date - April 2009 Hmmmmm ... wonder if I could get my dealer to hold off a few months for the larger engine ... thought for sure that rumor was false ... still not sure I'm buying it. |
