    ...... PLUS I doubt the 14 inch wheel will work with the size of the BRAKES from the 2014 and up models ....... Mike

    ......buy them. 2012 don't fit on 2014. No just the size, but the 14 brembo callipers are bigger, and the wheel won't turn. I tried my wife '12 on my '13...... ☹

    Default There you have it....

    Different rim size...hence different tire size...and as mentioned the newer brake system made them go to the larger rim to accommodate the larger calipers...
