    the faq sticky at the top of the forum shows the wheel size and bolt pattern. there are some corolla years that fit as well as gen III hatchbacks. there are also a few threads here if you search. give it a try, you'll figure it out eventually and it's a good learning experience. all the best!

    You're more likely to find use 2004-2013 non-PIP wheels for sale. Any of them from the regular Prius will fit. eBay has a ton of them.

    Are you after a doughnut or a replacement tire that will have the same characteristics as one you now have on the ground? Be aware of the date on the tire as they deteriorate over time even without use and their tire pressure must be maintained.
