I have over 4000 miles and it is good. legit no issues so far. it is a great car that eats up miles and is comfortable for full grown adults even in the back. the fuel door seems like it might need realignment/adjustment but other than that I am very pleased. technology is spot on.

Looks like I wasn't wrong

Bit of a shot in the dark... But if anyone has a set of the 22's from the Executive package in Canada (GTA) i'll swap our 20's and throw a little cash on top.

I'm picking up the car this afternoon.

On another note, does anyone know the wheel specs for the 22's? will a 22x10 wheel work with a +20 offset, standard 255/45/22's. I'm looking at a set of Braelin BR13's and just wanted to be sure as I think the OEM wheel is a 9inch wide one, and not sure what going to 10" wide would do. likely nothing but thought I would ask.

thanks in advance.

Will be picking up my 500h in a few days. If anyone is interested in swapping their 20”s plus cash for my 22”s in the Houston area please let me know!

It’s for my wife & I think we’ll be ok with the smaller wheels.

Before I took delivery of my 500h, I was a victim of this thread thinking that the 22 inch wheels would be horrible. I scoured the internet looking for backup wheels.

Over 500 miles later, this is really a non-issue. The 500h solenoid-actuated shock absorbers (not avail on the 350) soaks up quite a bit and makes daily driving with the family very pleasurable.

After washing the 500h wheels, I noticed the wheel is a 2-tone intricate pattern which is very aesthetically pleasing.

Take note: Our 500h has a massive brake caliper (BBK). I could be mistaken, but the 350 does not have a BBK and the 20 inch wheels may or may not fit over the calipers unless someone can confirm.

I have 18s as a winter setup on my TX350. It is a winter tire/wheel package from tirerack.com that's more or less put together for a Toyota Grand Highlander...

There is no way a 20" wheel would not clear the outside of the brake caliper, the only issue could be the inside of the spokes interfering with the face of the caliper. No one should be worried about a 20" wheel not fitting if the specs are reasonable. Hope this helps.
