From GTR and M4 to 2024 Prime, help with wheels

Everyday Driver did a Prius VS GR86 video. They used Enkei 18x8 +40 wheels, seemingly with no problem.
But why do you need 235 tires for a Prius...?

 

I answered you in the other thread. The +30 is definitely in the no fly zone. You want more like a +50 with a wider wheel like that. You can do like +38-45 with a more aggressive stretch on the tire.

 

Just food for thought, I don't know what color your car is or what look you're going for but there's tons of options from other Toyota or Lexus models that have perfect specs. In general would shoot for an 8" width that way you don't have to get too wacky with the tire size.

 

Hi Chi-Weezy. You post finally got me to sign up, even if I don't have a prius. Considering it though. Finally an affordable hybrid/EV that's acceptable for enthusiasts. For context, I had a spec miata, RX8, and now QV.

I know tirerack tests fitment, and they do not have 8.5 as an option. Max is 8. So maybe 8.5 will rub, unless fenders are rolled. Looking at matching wheel and tire fitments, 18x8 fitted with either 225/50/18, or 235/40/18 might work. Lots of max and even 200wr tires at those sizes if you want to take your prius autocrossing.

 

Again I really don't recommend going sub +35 on wider than stock wheel. You're better off needing a spacer than having a wheel that sticks out too much. An 8" wheel with a +40 offset is a full inch wider than the stock 19s. If you keep stock ride height it will probably be ok but I you can see on mine which is lowered there isn't really a ton of room to go wider without trimming.

 

What size tire and wheel is that?

 

That's a stock Limited 19x6.5 +40 with the 195/50/19

 

On another note I just got my new wheels and should hopefully have them on by this weekend. I will post details then.
