Are Prius wheels of 15" - 16" - 17" interchangeable ?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #3740 of 3803 |
My current 2005 Prius has 16" wheels.

The 2010 model comes with 15" (Comfort) or with 17" (Aspiration and up)
Although if you want a solar ventilation system on a 17" model, it will be
delivered with 15" too.

I expect that the geometry of the wheelbolts is identical.
Does anyone know?

Reason for this question: last winter I bought a set of 16" wheels with new
wintertires.
Would i be able to use them on a 2010?

Thanks.
