    Any pictures of a Prius with the TRD 18" option? Looked through several (50+ pages) pages on the aftermarket wheel thread and didn't see one. I know mileage is affected and all the other downside but it should look good.

    What tire will be the biggest I can fit? It comes 225/40 - 18 stock on the Scion correct?

    Thanks!

    The Prius doesn't have an 18" wheel option. It's a 17x7" wheel. You can fit 19" with a careful fit. 18s are easy. Expect your mpg to drop like a rock. LOL

    It's not a Prius option but it's a common option for the 5x100 cars - XB, XD, Corolla, Celica. Bolts right onto the 2010 and 2011 Prius. Surprised not too many people have done it. I'll try it tomorrow. I have no idea what it'll look like since I don't see any pics of it in all the threads here. 19s are crazy..

    A lot of people don't go to 18s because they put a serious dent in fuel economy. The other reason is maybe they don't like the look of the wheels on the cars you mentioned.

    Jut make sure the offset is correct for the Prius and they should be fine. Double check the bolt patterns on the xB as well.

    That's a nice looking setup. Any pics from behind so that we see how they fit in the wheel well?

    It's tough to make the rear tire stick out. The front doesn't sit as far in so you have to be more careful up front. A 7" wheel with a +38mm offset almost sticks out.

    Any reviews on this setup? I really like the look of that TRD wheel.

    Wow 18" TRD rims! must be a cool looking Prius with those on! Are those perfect fit for Prius without using adapters and spacers?

    Would 15 x 6.5 +40 5x100 wheel fit my 2015 Prius Two?
