You are doing great, its amazing what you are doing here, I'm learning a lot.

[@isaacelijah8894]

Thanks Paul. I have the exact same Rav 4, in Papua New Guinea.

[@germanik892]

The same is in Russia

[@zaman-sam]

Thnx for your effort pal

[@hotchocolate9887]

What is the tire size ?

[@aquilesfuentes5978]

What are the tires 🛞 sizes I’d love to get me the same exact

[@LabCoatPaul]

I have the BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A K02 in LT225/75R16. They're great tires, but too heavy for the RAV4. I recommend going with a passenger car tire instead of light truck.

Hi Paul. Love your videos, they are great! But you should be very careful about re-drilling cast aluminium wheels, they might loose their structural integrity and might end up a lot more dangerous than they were before. Just a heads up. Wouldn't it be a lot better to use whatever wheel nuts the rim was designed for?

[@LabCoatPaul]

I did use the correct lug nuts, but wanted to make sure the taper is just right. The wheels could be more dangerous now that I drilled them, but there is still a lot of material left under the lug nuts, so maybe it will be ok.

[@eNigma22223]

@@LabCoatPaul I hope so :)

I assume he did that to expose more of the stud as they are normally too short to use with acorn nuts. Thinning out material around the holes is not a safe solution.

[@cerchiarax]

Hi Paul, did you get any shake in your steering wheel after installing the lift with your all terrain tires? I did the same and at low speeds 30mph Im getting a slight shake with 235 75 15's

[@LabCoatPaul]

My RAV4 actually drives pretty well, but I do get a bit of clunking from the suspension. I didn't install the thin rubber things between the rear springs and trailing arms and I think the springs are making some noise when touching metal on metal.

[@cerchiarax]

@Lab Coat Paul man I had totally forgot about those rubber isolators my mechanic just put the old ones on. But no clunking in my end so maybe they were still good.

[@truenough86]

You drilled way to much there's no meat left those wheels were designed for those lug nuts and had the taper I don't see why you did that

[@InsertFlashyName]

Of all the good looking direct fit OEM toyota wheels you could have gone with, and instead that less than ideal solution. Yikes.

[@LabCoatPaul]

It was the cheapest option. I think it will work just fine. I'll let you know if my wheels fall off.
