Lift I'm still debating. I don't dislike the current height but 1" or so wouldn't hurt. It may happen anyways because I am changing the rear springs atleast for a better spring rate along w/ a set of Firestone bags for extra adjustability with towing or heavier loads in the rear. I'll give those H&R Springs a look. I do have a Skid Plate Guys skid plate and diff protector on there for a little extra peace of Mlmind if I do happen to run over something and it gets a little too close. I'm a Bilstein fan. I have them on my Bronco and I love them. They will definitely be in the future. Is it correct that Gen 4.4 shocks work on the 4.3? The Rav currently only has just over 40,000 original miles so everything in the suspension is actually in great order. Barely driven West Coast Car.

 

Mine is the opposite with 140k of NE living so the original suspension was SHOT. Yes 4.4 shocks/struts fit and work fine, same chassis. I used B6 front struts (B8 were NA at the time plus they have a built in 1" lift) and B8 rear shocks. The shocks came with a little spring seat spacer for the 1" lift but I like the stance it has with just the springs.

Replika R243 - 17x7 | 5x114.3mm | +35 | 60.1mm | Satin Black - Saw these on the 19' TRD Rav4s and I loved them. Kept the Blizzaks 225/65/17 on them, since winter is just around the corner, but opting for Falken Wildpeaks afterwards.

 

Old setup was Enkei RPF1 on 235/65/17. Lightweight and a little larger overall diameter than OEM.

Current setup is konig Hypergram on 235/75/16. Lighter than RPF1 and overall is almost a 30'' tire. Meaty sidewall.

 

Question for you guys as someone who is fairly new to this world:

I'm looking at Method 502 wheels (17x8 +38) with Wildpeak Trail tires (235/65 R17), but the tire/wheel sites like TireRack are saying the Method wheels won't fit my vehicle. I have a 2012 V6 base. What am I missing?

 

@LaMothe602 those are the KMC Bully in a 17X8 5-114.3 with a 38mm offset. DM us if you would like more information on the wheel. We are here to help.

 

Do you guys carry black rhino rumble wheels? In 5x114.3?

@rinzler7 absolutely we carry Black Rhino Rumble wheels. Don't hesitate to reach out through a DM if you would like more information.

 

Alright y'all. I've hit the analysis paralysis stage and could really use some second opinions on the following wheels!

For context, this is for a 2012 Base V6 in Black Forest Pearl. I plan to keep my stock size all-season tires for a while since they are fairly new, but am open to a bigger size and/or A/T tires down the road. Part of me feels like the LP1s go better with A/T tires, whereas the others could look good with both. I also think the A/T tire look is a starting to get a little cliché at this point so maybe I should shoot for something a bit less "rally" like the Bully or EDR9?

LP Aventure LP1 (17x7.5 -35mm)

KMC KM708 (17x8 -38mm)

Enkei EDR9 (17x8 -38mm)

This is amazing, I have been trying to find this rim to fit my 2010 rav4. i always read that its hard to get a hubcentric ring on a steel. are these a little better at fitting the ring?

 

Cheap ebay wheel skins

 

@Hans 18 as long as it's the look that you want, that's all that matters. From the picture, the black looks very nice. And it sounds like it wasn't a lot of money.

 

$60 all in and it is the look I wanted, actually i wanted to get new wheels but this change showed me I didn't need to spend that much to change the look of the car.

 

@Nico.Fera fairly certain, these steel wheels are lug centric and a hub centering ring will not work.

 

That's what I thought, everything I read said not to do this. It looks so amazing but unfortunately there aren't many options like this for the 2008-12' Rav4s. I just ordered steelies for now

 

I got these installed at a tire shop with hub centric rings as per my post and they work with no issues so far. You just can't use the hub covers with the hub centric rings. Needed to order specific rings from the states though with the odd difference in diameter between the wheel and hub. Hub ring link: Hub Centric Rings ( 60.1 - 83.82) - JustForWheels.com

No Lift and No Rubbing!

 

Sweet!

are the flush with the fender or slightly inset?

 

2011 Rav4 Sport w/ Sparco All Terrain Terra, 18x8 w/ 35mm Offset. Tires are Michelin Crossclimate2, 235/55R18. I've been very happy with the performance and the look so far.
