What is the suitable wheel size for the Crown?
2 Answers
The suitable wheel size for the Crown is 17 inches. The wheel hub is the rotating part of the wheel rim connected to the wheel center through pillars, which is the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire. Wheel hubs are prone to accumulating dirt, and if not cleaned for a long time, they may corrode and deform, posing potential safety hazards. The Crown is a mid-to-large-sized car under the Toyota Group, with body dimensions of 5020mm in length, 1805mm in width, and 1480mm in height. It features a 4-door, 5-seat sedan body structure and is equipped with three engine options: 2.5L, 3.0L, and 4.3L. The first two are 6-cylinder, 24-valve engines, while the latter is a V-type 8-cylinder engine.
How to choose the wheel size for a Crown car? I think the factory settings are the most reliable. Toyota Crown generally recommends between 16 to 19 inches, depending on the model year. After driving for over a decade, I've found that overly large wheels, like those above 20 inches, can severely impact comfort. Thinner tires increase bumpiness and can damage the suspension system. On the other hand, wheels that are too small may compromise handling precision. Safety first—it's best to check the owner's manual or consult a professional shop. Also, consider tire compatibility and daily maintenance costs. A 17-inch wheel offers a good balance, with affordable tire replacements and moderate fuel consumption. Don't go for overly exaggerated modifications just for looks.
