Hello does anyone know if the accord rims will fit on the insight?
Check the offset for the wheels to be sure, but other then a significant drop in gas mileage, the 18” should be fine. Not sure about the 19 though.I know the lug pattern is the same just not sure if i will encounter any problems.
If you went from the Touring's 17" Continentals to Michelins, that's totally plausible. What size the the Accord wheels/tires?I put my wife's 2019 Accord Hybrid wheels with Michelin tires on my Insight and I went from 38 - 39 mpg to 42 - 43 mpg. I drive about 70 to 80 miles round trip to work, gym and home doing about 70 to 80 mph on the interstate. 60 miles of that trip is interstate. I keep my tires at 36 psi.

You own a 2020 Insight Touring with 17" wheels, right? If so for comparison, your original OEM tire spec was 215/50 R17 91H, Continental ProContact TX. Recommended Touring tire pressure is 35 front / 32 rear per 2019 Insight owners manual.I put my wife's 2019 Accord Hybrid wheels with Michelin tires on my Insight and I went from 38 - 39 mpg to 42 - 43 mpg.

The Accord Hybrid wheels are 17s also and they run 225/50 R17 94V, Michelin Energy Saver as mention by Insightfully. Much better tires then the Continentals in my opinion and experience.If you went from the Touring's 17" Continentals to Michelins, that's totally plausible. What size the the Accord wheels/tires?
Do you think the rims themselves are different weights? Did you by chance weigh the tires from each before installing? Was wondering if the Accord Hybrid rims are lighter than the Insight rims, and helping mpg.The Accord Hybrid wheels are 17s also and they run 225/50 R17 94V, Michelin Energy Saver as mention by Insightfully.

I didn't think to weigh the wheels before I put them on but, if I have time this weekend and if it doesn't rain I can bust out the scale and check the weight difference between the wheels. Also, my wife got some new wheels for her ride so I took the chance to take her stock wheels and put them on my Insight lol...Do you think the rims themselves are different weights?

Oh... and if you took the tires from your wife's 2019 Accord Hybrid, is she rolling on the tires from the 2019 Insight Touring, or something else?
