    Looks Good! Good choice on the size! Now finish it off with some lowering springs! How is the infrastructure in Phnom Pen, Cambodia... will u have any concerns with bottoming out or damaging the new shoes??

    Thx Cezarcaz and Justdidit... do you have any idea about the correct tire pressure for 215/35/R18 prius? Between, I think I'm not going for lower springs cos road condition throughout the country still won't be favorable for that... The low pro tire will work quite well for most major cities and with human brain to drive it carefully :) In Phnom Penh, low pro and lower springs won't be a problem (y) This is what we do in Phnom Penh [​IMG]

    Not sure about your tires... but MOST tires list the max tire air pressure on the tire itself.

    Even if you dont lower it... (y)

    I really like it with bigger rims. I am sure you will loose some mpg with bigger wheels but not sure how much. It doesn look really nice though!

    About 6+mpg is my guess assuming any difference in diameter is accounted for. Big wheels kill mpg in a GenII.

    prius_cor thx and I tend to agree with you! It looks great to me and I feel more confident cruising around the city! I'm so happy with it! Like F8L, you and others mentioned, there will be some MPG loss, I'm ready and prepared... Between, who doesn't want a feeling waking up in the morning looking at your ride and smile, smile and smile! It turn out to be a real blast

    That's a right guess.. just happened to enjoy along ride and yes my average MPG for 300miles journey speeding 80-100kmph, 4 adults in the car is 48mpg... That's still cool for me, better handling even though it's pretty rough and bumpy sometime. Well I can live with it lol
