Can you swap Leaf Wheels and Tires
a 2019 Leaf SL 17" Wheels And Tires to a 2019 Leaf S Plus 16" Wheels and Tires Both are Alloy Rims
And Visa Versa are they the same bolt pattern?
Is This a simple Swap Just Unbolt From One And Bolt on to the Other
Then I imagine you Have to recalibrate the Speedometer at the dealer with software?
Any one ever do this?
 
Thanks Leftie For your input
The GSM and a Salesman at the Dealership said Sure No Problem at all Service can do it there factory trained
But i Figure what do Salesman at car dealerships really know these days
They all seem to be around 25 years old and Think they Know it all Im 65 and I am still Learning
A Good Knowledable Leaf salesperson is very Hard to find at a Nissan Dealership In my Experience
Most of the Nissan Sales People i have talked to really know Zip about the car and would Rather Sell fossil Fuel Cars
By there own admission which i find odd I'm an old Man now and have been going green for 25 years now
 
gear ratio's are the same 8.10
tire size leaf s plus 205 55 R16 at 65 mph reads 65 mph
tire size leaf sl 215 50 r17 at 65 mph now reads 66.53 mph
without a tire and wheel recalibration done
i had the same thing Happen on My 1996 Chrysler Town and Country Minivan
Changes tire size and different diameter rim they just re did the calibration on a hand held device
it was no big deal at all
 
The wheels bolted right on no problem going from 16" rims to 17" rims
have the same bolt pattern if anybody cares to know
There on the car now and the ride is much better more firm footed solid ride
not choppy like with the 16" rims and tires the S plus originally had
Now I Have a 2019 S Plus with 2019 Non Plus SL wheels
