15x10 MT Wheels?

Sabian · 11-04-2012, 11:46 PM

I'm aware that our first gen Ravs have somewhat large brakes and that most 15in wheels probably wouldn't fit. I was told that a 15x10 would fit, I'm not sure what makes this different than any other 15in wheel but I wouldn't like to find out the hard way. Anyway, I was checking out some Mickey Thompsons, the Classic Lock Blacks to be exact. The 15x10 has a bolt pattern of 5 x 4.5in which I believe is the same as 5 x 114.3mm which the Rav4 has? It also has a -48mm offset which is more than the look I am going for. I may need to shop around for some fender flares but surely that can wait. I suppose what I'm looking for right now is some assurance, if anyone knows whether or not these wheels would/should fit it would be a great start

Thanks in advance!

RAV4 have an offset between 33 and 45, your offset is larger. It will, especially on the front, rub heavily. I would advice to look for another rim.

I cannot tell you exactly if the bolt pattern size matches. Since that is very delicate it will need to be a precise match or you better choose a different rim. Because of the 4 wheels being continuously driven you don't want to have lots of stress from not fitting bolt pattern on any of the wheels.

Those Mickey Thompsons have been fitted on a 1st gen, they used a fender flare that is no longer available. It looked awesome.

Have you seen a older shape RAV4 with wide body kit like this (photo)

That is truly awesome

That negative offset sure does stick out! Maybe more than I was expecting

If I could find fender flares like those (which I haven't...yet) I would totally rock that look. Nice find

Yeah 10" wide is just amazing, its a shame the body kit is not made anymore, well atleast i assume it isnt. Maybe one of the older members knows.
