20" wheels from Electric on gas model?

[Genechris]

Has anyone put the 20" wheels from the electric version on a gas model?

I have a 3.5T Prestige which came with the 21" wheels. I don't really like these wheels (They look TOO big to my untrained eye), but I had to accept them to get the Prestige Trim. I first thought of downgrading to the wheels of a lower trim level, only to learn that they are 19". And, again to my untrained eye, these look too SMALL, so I don't really like them either.

BUT, I noticed that the electric version comes with a 20" wheel whose styling I like best. But I'm wondering why is there no 20" wheel for the gas models?. I imagine they did something unique for the wheels on the electric versions, for example, making them super quiet, BUT is there any technical reason I couldn't or shouldn't put them on my ICE car?

I'd appreciate any experience and/or thoughts.

thanks,
Chris

I have the 20" wheels on my 2023 GV70 electric. I believe the 5 spokes are a little beefier, no doubt to allow for the additional weight of the electric vehicle. I agree they are a nice looking wheel. I'm sure they would work on your 3.5T. I have an aftermarket set of 19" with winter tires mounted, with no problem. You could ask your dealer. They should be able to confirm.

I have an after market 20 inch wheels for my winter tires to replace the sumer 21's. A 255/45 20 tire has the same rolling diameter as the stock 255/40 21's and they work well, give a little more side wall for the winter pot holes in the roads.
