Got the new Tires on! Sandblasted and painted the wheels before mounting them up. I've run the Grabbers in the past on a Cherokee and love them just as much on my Rav4. They ride nice.. A little louder then a highway tire. My only gripe is that they rub on the front wheel liners when I'm turning. I did expect this and hope the OME lift fixes the problem. Here are some before and after pics.

Finally painted the center caps and took some more pics. In a week or two I'm going to try an idea I had on fixing the rubbing issue. Just to hold me over till I can afford the OME kit.
@Pim:
I expected the loss of power, just not such a dramatic one. I have built Samurais in the past, so I know all about the loss of power with a 4cyl and larger tires. In time I plan on building cold air intake and an exhaust. Hopefully I pick up some more top-end there..

Zukster, those wheels look awesome, nice paint job. And the center caps are the icing on the cake. Great work!
Yep
Well that Blows!
I had trouble with Rocky Road in the past when purchasing Samurai parts. They had originally told me 2-3 weeks on my 5" lift. Three weeks later they told me another two weeks because shocks were on back order. Five weeks after my order they told me another two weeks because their spring perch jig broke and they had to build another one.. Two months after my order the kit arrived with the wrong brake hoses. Nothing but excuses. I started using Trail Tough and Low Range Offroad after that and had great service from both of them.
Rocky Road seems to be the only vendor I can find with the Rav4 OME kit tho.
