Pretty snazzy looking matrix you got there....

I've been here for quite some time but never bothered posting. Here is my rav4 with Konig countersteers.

sorry to quote so far back, but does anyone have a rough idea of the size of his rims.

i was gonna pm him but it doesn't look like this member has been active since 2011 judging by his profile and last activity.

What Bull bar is that?

Looks so much better than stock

What tires do you have on?

Sorry, I didn't realize this was for 4.3 RAV4s and I cannot figure out how to delete this post.

Here are my wheels from tirerack.com 16X7.5 5114 ET40 American Racing RAZOR. I like em!

 

[blkrav2012]

Afternoon all. New to the forum. Not much been done except for mounting my old wheels from my last project.
17x8 +30 enkei rpf1 (condition is rough, 3-4 years old but still serve a purpose). Got some small things coming to help make it my own.
Great forum btw, helped a lot with some questions thus far.

Better shot after a good wash

My 2011 Limited

Hi everyone.

I thought I would share a picture of my somewhat new-to-me Rav4. My wife and I recently moved to the mountains, but I commute 110 miles a day with a drive home elevation gain of 4,400 feet . I purchased this V6 to get me up the mountains, but am happy with the 23-24 mpg's I get.

I am not kidding when I say I have been wanting this for a couple years. It's the perfect car for exploring fire roads, camping and road trips in general. I hope to make it look a bit more adventurous as time goes by.

Incidentally, we sold our FJ to get this as it's much more practical and we plan on starting a family soon.

The wheels are 16 x 8 American Racing, +35 offset. Tires are 225/70-16 BFG AT KO2's. As most of you are aware, lot's of space in the fenders. No rubbing with this wheel offset and width. The tires are still within the fender well.

I will post better pictures as I get the opportunity. Thanks everyone for the great and helpful forum.

Not exactly aftermarket but still good looking!

This looks great!! Tires look meaty as hell!

Could you take a picture directly from the rear of the vehicle (from a lower angle?) I just want to see the width/stance of a 8" wide rim with +35 offset. Thanks!!

 

[AudioQuest]

Here are my RTX "OEM" series wheels. 45mm offset and oem center-bore so no adapter rings needed. They look very similar to the oem appearance-package 17" wheels.

 

[JuneBug]

AudioQuest, those rims look really sharp!!

 

[Matt N]

18X8 Rennen's. 235/55/18, 45 offset which is the same as stock offset but this rim is 1 inch (2.5cm) wider. It pushed the wheel out 1.3mm on both the outside and inside. wheel looks a lot more flush with the body so i'm really happy with that. i wouldn't of minded a +35 offset either.

No rubbing or issues, it was plug and play. of course i needed hub rings and new nuts but that is minor.

 

[Buc23]

Not aftermarket, but will do for now...

Found these at a bargain price and a trip to the beach. I just couldn't stand the steelies :surprise

Here are some pics of the 2014 GTR OEM forged wheels mounted on the RAV.

Wheel specs: 2013-2014 Nissan GTR OEM Rays Engineering Forged Alloy Wheels

Front Wheels: 20" x 9.5", 45mm offset (I have them mounted on Eibach 25mm spacers to push them out further for a more aggressive look and handling)
Front Tires: Dunlop Sport Maxx RFT 255/40/ZR20 (future: will mount Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 255/40/ZR20 tires when these wear out, currently sitting in storage)

Rear Wheels: 20" x 10.5" 25mm offset
Rear Tires: Dunlop Sport Maxx RFT 285/35/ZR20 (future: will mount Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 295/35/ZR20 tires when these wear out, currently sitting in storage)

The gunmetal metallic gray paint finish compliments the Flint Mica paint on my RAV4 very well.

Enjoy!

I love the look of your work and would like to do something like that with my RAV but unfortunately... wheel knowledge, offsets, etc geometry is out of my range of instant comprehension. So... stupid-ass question time begs your indulgence after you stop laughing.:wink

1. Why are the front and rear tire sizes different? Is this to level out the vehicle and not make it so "front heavy", because your RAV looks relatively horizontal friendly.

2. And are the back tires @ 285/35/ZR20 that size to appear (be) wider (as in "out more") in contrast to the front tires?

3. And you say you have 295/35/ZR20 tires in waiting. So.... they would look even more "out" of the rear wells in the rear when applied thus look more aggressive?

4. And finally... I'd prefer a "beefier" off road look - more tire - less alloy. Would such beefier tires/smaller alloys of the same circumference dimensions respectively, affect gas mileage more or less than yours? Or it wouldn't matter because the tire circumference is the same, and it takes the same amount of time to rotate?

Maybe this helps...
1 the wider rear tires are mostly for looks. If you were Autocrossing the wider rear tires would help with oversteer, but this is most likely for looks.

2 yes. The wider tires along with the lower offset give the rav a wider track. This also lowers the center of gravity and will help handling and high speed stability.

3 10mm wider is hardly noticeable. In the current setup the front wheels are actually taller than the rear ones, by going to a 295 it will make the rear ones slightly taller than the front.

4 more tire with less rim would use more gas. While the circumference would be the same the taller side wall would flex more. This flexing would cost gas mileage. The low side wall offers less resistance to the road so less fuel is needed, but less sidewall flex means a stiffer ride.
I replaced my 235/55-18s with 235/65-17s and got a much softer ride. I lost 1-2MPG which is not bad since I have great tires that I can run all year long.
