Thanks for getting back to me.Thanks! The wheels are 17", and tires are 33x12.5. I think the outside diameter of the new tires was within a tenth of an inch from the factory tires on 20" wheels.
Two partial regrets:
1) I bought the tires preinstalled on the wheels, and 1 or 2 of the 4 TPMS sensors failed within a week, and I had to have the wheel set rebalanced multiple times.
2) The other partial regret is based on gas mileage. The factory wheels were around 4lbs heavier, but the factory tires about 30lbs lighter. Much heavier tires pulled the mileage down about 2-4 mpg. With a Powerboost the mileage is still pretty good, but the hybrid advantage is definitely reduced.
Really good to know about the tires. I’m going to stick with 20”, which will be much less rubber to weight things down ( I assume ).
Are the wheels painted? I can’t tell if those are black or not.
