Sweet!

are the flush with the fender or slightly inset?
These have a slight inset. I tried 0 offset wheels that had a little poke, similar to the setup above. But with the 245 tires it rubbed way too much on the front wheel well towards the cabin. Tried a 235 tire and it was still rubbing. With the 245 tires it would definitely have needed a lift and probably a body chop. Not sure if that would have even helped.

I wonder if a 1.5 lift and 235/65 would work...

Just committed today. Last fall I picked up a set of 17” Mustang wheels from the 2006-09 Pony package (appearance on V6 models) which are styled like American Racing Torq Thrust D wheels. They are a perfect (lugcentric) fit for the RAV. I’ve also abandoned the seasonal tire changeover and went with All-Weather tires. I chose Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S tires, size and spec: 244/65-17 111T. Got an extra 1/2” ground clearance, the sidewall is nice and soft to smooth out the craters we call roads here. I went with the AT3 because of the construction site use and being FWD (need all the traction I can get in the soupy dirt/mud/gravel.)

I’m happy with the setup. I definitely notice the torque reduction from the larger diameter, but that’s ok for me. No rubbing, ample clearance to the fender, wells, and control arms. Being FWD, I also don’t need to worry about a matching spare tire, so I’m sticking with my original size, and ai can still use the cover.

I have some mustang wheels and the factory toyota bolts don't work with them. What bolts did you use and many turns can your turn your bolts on the mustang wheels?

I installed some mustang wheels on my 5 bolt toyota S runner. While I can get the wheels on and I drove around with them for a few weeks in the back of my mind I felt like I was not able to turn the bolts enough. Seems like I was only able to rotate the bolts 1/2 as much as the stock lug nuts with the OEM wheels.
 
New to this forum.

Here's my new to me 2011 RAV4 Sport V6 I'm putting together as a light trail build.

Using hub centric rings and slight rub on front wheel well at full turn (tires have some meat on them)

Hi, you have exactly the spec wheel i'm looking for, but I'm afraid it will stick out for the front.. can you send me a picture of what is looking over the front and rear fenders. thanks a lot
