    Hi all, i am looking to lose my space saver wheel and use a full size wheel, i want to use a steel rim and would like to know if anyone knows what other cars rim sizes will fit on the prius. Toyota was no help and dont sell steel rims for my model. All i can say is its a 5 stud like a lot of other cars but have no idea what make or model to look for and i live in Adelaide.

    Where are you going to put this wheel? Seems it'd be more useful to buy a used wheel that matches your existing wheels and rotate that 5th wheel around to each wheel position when you rotate your tires to extend tread life. My friend was just telling me yesterday that unless he's going on a long drive he leaves his 2010's spare space-saver wheel at home to reduce weight/improve MPG. But he also has a wife he bought a Fiat electric car for so he's gotta a reliable backup plan for driving around town without a spare tire. :)

    Sounds like an embarassing question to ask... I think I'll pass. Lol
