Oh and thanks for this video, i used to run a 15mm spacer of that type on my 2013 Corolla, i had to drill holes in my aftermarket wheels in order to get the original lug nuts to clear, lol I've never used loctite, I'll have to use that next time! :)
That was brave to drill the wheel! I don't think I would have done that. I ran 25mm spacers on my 2009 Corolla S Turbo when I had a set of Scion FRS wheels for my winter setup.
Great video! I have a 2009 rav 4 was thinking of getting spacers because of how sucked in the wheels are. Would 25mm work without issues? Also how do I know what spacers will work with my tire offset?
The best way to figure it out is to measure the space you have. You can use a straight edge or something flat against the tire that extends up to the edge of the wheel well and then measure the gap. Without seeing your RAV4 I would guess that a 25mm spacer would be fine if they are sucked in a lot.
I used to always use 76 ft-lbs but the special torque wrench I bought that I use for my lug nuts has preset points and the closest one is 80 ft-lbs which is just fine.
These are the tolls I used. www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-2767-20-Torque-Impact-Friction/dp/B08P4NX77N/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2CPQ5FQAQU1BV&keywords=milwaukee+tools&qid=1683936824&sprefix=milwaukee%2Caps%2C159&sr=8-1 www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-FUEL-Speed-Cordless-Ratchet/dp/B08XB59NKR/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2CPQ5FQAQU1BV&keywords=milwaukee+tools&qid=1683936824&sprefix=milwaukee%2Caps%2C159&sr=8-4
Sometimes that's not possible. In my case I have a set of winter wheels and standard 3 season wheels that are similar in width and offset. This is a much easier way and much less expensive solution than buying 2 more sets of wheels. My buddy uses a set of 35mm spacers on his older 911 so he can use newer 911 wheels that are a much different offset. He's been racing with them for more than a decade as many 911 owners do, no issues. That is the point of this, to show people how to do this the correct way and to have great results for very little money. 😎

Very professional 👏

Thank you for the video! One question, at the end when putting back the tires, did you yse 76 pressure on the torque wrench as well?
I used to always use 76 ft-lbs but the special torque wrench I bought that I use for my lug nuts has preset points and the closest one is 80 ft-lbs which is just fine.
what electric drill did you use to pull the lug nuts, and what smaller one did you use to put them back on?
These are the tolls I used.

@@jimsgaragetoys Thanks!
I'd rather spend the money on new wheels with the proper offset than use spacers. But that's just me
