    Nope. Brand new suspension so the springs haven't started sagging yet and the Prius comes with 215/45/17 tires which are shorter than the 195/65/15 tires. That's why I chose a 205/50/17 when added my Lexus wheels. They just look nicer. Between those tires and TRD springs, wheel well gap was almost gone.

    Either way... I'm getting some Plus/TRD/Eibach springs.

    Nice!

    I was taking pics of the one above when Fish found me. I drove off in that old white PIP that was sitting by the charging station. It shined up nice. LOL

    Probably not settled coming off the trunk? I haven't seen springs sag due to fatigue till many years/miles later.
