Just ordered my wheel package and looking forward to getting them on. Went with...

Black Rhino Boxer Wheels 16x7 15 offset
Falken Wildpeak At3w 235/70/16

Wanted to add minimal weight over the OEM 17" set up and i should come in only approx 2lbs more
 
19’ Hybrid XLE

Brand: Black Rhino
Model: Boxer
Size: 16x7
Offset: 15
Tire: Falken Wildpeak At3w 235/70/16
MPG: Seem to have lost 1-1.5mpg...not bad!
Ride: No more road noise than the OEMs, not as squishy of a ride, but still very comfortable. Does not feel sluggish with weight increase.

OEM 17” with firestone destination: 48.6lbs

New wheels: 56.8lbs

Any reason why you went with 16's vs the 17's? I might get the black rhino rumble's in the same tire set up.
 
Ahh right since +40 would decrease the width. Would you be able to fit bigger tires without rubbing? I was thinking 245/65/16 but the 70 would give you more height right?
I could fit bigger without rubbing, especially with the 15 offset, but I don’t think 245/65/16 was an option in the tires I was looking at. Plus you’re just talking more unsprung weight at that point, and for what gain?

Nice looking wheels. I am looking for wheels for my winter setup and while these would be overkill, I sure like them.

I am wondering how this sizing would be for my 2020 XSE (18" wheels standard) given this is for winter tires? In other words -

  • what is the advantage of 17" ?
  • how would this wider tire be for a winter ice/snow setup?

Thanks
 
Does anyone know if 255/65R 18 tires will fit (without rubbing steering lock to lock) a 2019 RAV4 Hybrid?
