They don't fit on the Sierra...

My dad got an absolutely bargain, 3 Rav 4 alloy wheels at $5 each. Plus they're brand new. He originally got them for a trailer but they wouldn't fit or something. So he said I could have them... then I found out the bloody hubs are too big. They would have been nice too, 16".

They were selling quite a few of them, but when he went back for another one they were gone. Doesn't matter though as they don't fit.

I know its probably impossible but is there a way to make them fit ?

im sure someone would be able to machine them out to fit


provided it will be strong enough

Hmmm.... possibly. Problem is that the hole is quite a bit smaller.

For $5 a rim it would be worth having a hack at it Or just sell them and get some wheels that fit your zook properly. But since you only have 3 anyway maybe they will be better on a trailer... At least the trailer will look cool, LOL!

Don't know if he'll let me have them hacked up, hes probably just going to sell them now. But yeah only 3 is a problem, I don't want to pay a lot for another new alloy if it might not even work.

Its annoying my dad didn't tell me that they were pretty much giving rims away, I found out a day later, when there are none left. I would have bought 4 or 5 just for the hell of it. If they didn't fit I could have made a profit selling them anyway.

A trailer with them on would be pretty cool though. But I'd hate it because a trailer has better rims than my car.

aren't rav4 rims the same as hilux 2wd? 5 on 114.3 or something? i've seen them on a 2wd extra-cab somewjhere before..

Why not spend the $40 and get some new hubs (Super Cheap) for the trailer then fit them as originally intended.

NOTE: Rav 4 have the same stud pattern as ford (and 2wd lux, and volvo, and.....) but NOT suzuki.

Don't bother trying to modify them as the difference between the two are substantial.

just like this thread.

of course thhey wont fit they aren't for Suzukis, they are Toyota wheels. Don't waste your time trying to machine anything

I realise they aren't for Suzukis, I'm aware they don't fit. I was just curious if you could actually modify them to fit. From what I've gathered you can but its a bit iffy and sounds dodgy.

So no I'm not going to, I wasn't going to from the start unless it was easily done.

Yes I do know they have a different stud pattern but thats irrelevant when you consider the hub problem. Enlarging the hole for the hubs looks almost impossible as it would cut into the holes for the studs.

As for alloys, you may think they are gay. But compared to alloys I find steel rims very gay.

LMAO... Good come back (although it'll probably start a war)

sounds stupid but i've become attached to the stock rims (although they do need to be stripped back and resprayed )

pitty i couldn't get them in a alloy 6.5"-7", would be a great sleeper mod

Chuck some beadlox on them santos. I think this gives them about extra 1" maybe

At $290 a rim... Not f***ing likely! But they're close to what you probably want.... Or check out these cheaper (but not really that cheap) round steelies: http://www.onall4.com.au/USA_Steel_Wheels.htm

Compared to 15 x 10 steel beadlocked rims, they are super Grimace!

Rav 4's are Grimace

Perth is Grimace

and lastly grimace is Grimace

NOTE: I just broke the forum rulz...mod away Sam...ps: your Grimace

KWOAHHHH BABY! I don't need them.....but I want 'em, just like I want this rig! (my fave wallpaper from BFG)

BIGGG Beadlockerz

Yeah i know you didn't need a photo of them, but they are the same beadlocks that I just had made up for the suzi project. (thanks duncan)

Seems I have been misunderstood. I meant the stock steel rims .

and yes Rav4s are gay.
