I assume they didn't get bigger or it would hurt MPG with a bigger footprint. Cause the IS/GS F-sports go up to 19 as does the LS sport.

I understand if they couldn't go bigger on the CT200h.

If they offered a CT250h, CT300h, or CT350h however I don't see why they couldn't hypothetically use 18s or even 19s.

You would be shocked at how much a bigger wheel and a wider footprint kills MPG.

Yeah I totally understand that. I think that's why it would make sense to have bigger wheels together with more powerful engines. The bigger wheels don't make a whole lot of sense on the 200h.

It's like putting big wheels on a BMW 118i, doesn't make sense.

No no, not necessarily bigger, just a better design.
