    Background: I drove a 2009 Prius for almost a decade, then inherited a 2015 Lexus NX. The NX was stolen, and I put the insurance payout into a used 2017 Prius, technology trim. (I think that's sort of halfway between a Prius 3 and a Prius 4, in the States?)

    Issue/question: my new-to-me 2017 Prius doesn't have a set of winter tires. I had my summer tires for the 2015 Lexus NX in storage -- can I use the rims from those for a new set of winter tires for the 2017 Prius, or are the rims different enough that they can't be used?

    For starters, what diameter are these rims?

    You could try mounting them, without tires, see that they're physically compatible, clear the brakes/rotors..

    The wheel specs I looked up on a website says that the 2015 NX has a 5 x 114.3mm bolt pattern, which is not compatible with the 5 x 100mm bolt pattern on the Gen 4 Prius.
