Need specifics, Nitro! What do with do with those links?
I saw a thread where somebody was asking about rims so I figured I'd put a link up that's what that link is for 20-in rims 5x108 should be plus 40 backspace.

17" vs 18" wheels FWD -

will you notice better traction in the snow?
Will you notice a difference in road noise?
Will you notice a difference in comfort over bumps in the road?

Trying to understand why one would choose bigger wheels other than for aesthetics.

I don't know if it translates to the Hybrid (much less the EB), but on pure EVs, larger diameter wheels seem to reduce range. True for various Tesla models, Ionic 5, MachE, etc. In some cases its because larger rims bring with them wider tires (more drag), but some of it is just because of the larger rolling resistance.
