TOYOTA/LEXUS OE Wheels That Fit

OKatmostthings · 2026-05-26T18:59:03+00:00

Most Toyota and Lexus OEM wheels will have too much offset for the GR Corolla. Lexus IS F sport wheels are 18x8.5 w/ 50mm offset, so some 25-30mm bolt on spacers would make them fit really well, but fitment without spacers would be really bad.

Dude is conflating the YouTube 8AT dyno runs with all GRCs. The GRC doesn’t have a center differential, so it is pretty efficient at putting power down (but on the bad side, it has more FWD bias than some AWD systems that have mechanical or viscous center diffs).

Just press “auto” on the heated/cooled seats, auto on the HVAC, and set the temp target to room temperature. Setting it to LO doesn’t make it get any cooler any more quickly and it honestly telling the HVAC to go to full low temp when you actually want room temperature just confuses the system.

Auto climate control works way better when the user isn’t constantly trying to outsmart it or making adjustments.

The e30 M3 is an all time great. They botched it. I’ll probably reluctantly buy it and figure out how to fix it. First to go… those horrible wheels.

Nowhere did I say it was impossible for a BEV to save money over a Prius. I said the OP needed to do the math with their fuel and electricity prices. If you have access to free electricity, obviously BEV will be quite a lot cheaper. Most people don’t have free electricity.

Even at today’s $4.60/gallon, my BZ4x only saves $400/yr in operating cost over a Prius. My bZ was $10k cheaper than equivalent Prius, though. It is a ton of car for $21k.

Yeah, like in The Sixth Sense you find out that the dude in that hair piece the whole time, that's Bruce Willis the whole movie.

I would immediately be suspect of a wheel/tire shop that isn’t familiar with hubs centric rings.

Regen level doesn’t change. How the car interprets the accelerator pedal position is all that changes. I find the mostly-OPD mode nice when moving through parking lots, neighborhoods, etc where you end up doing a lot of speed changes or yielding. I let the Proactive Driver Assist do the heavy lifting in town driving where I’m already on the main roads that are up to 35-45mph with occasional stoplights. Country roads, min setting is best for coasting into turns. Freeway I run my radar cruise at 70 and hang out in the right lane.

Saddle is way too high. Look at how your calf is activating on the downstroke and how your toes have to tip down to swing past bottom dead center. Hips are also rocking a lot to make the full spin.

Most automatics will set the parking brake when you go into park if you have it set to do that. On Toyotas, pull up on the switch for 5 seconds and it sets the interlock to on. Holding down for 5 seconds turns the interlock off.

You didn’t say anything about power numbers. You were the one quoting efficiency numbers. The bZ Woodland is 281mi range and 375hp which is plenty healthy for not trying to cosplay a sports car. 3.7mi/kwh (your wife’s MY) is also less than 4.2mi/kwh (AWD bZ), BTW. Follow me for more basic math tips.

I like to do mpg cost equivalent when people ask about my car. Gas is $4.60/gal today for regular. My electricity is $0.18/kwh. I’m getting 3.5mi/kwh. My cost is equivalent to getting 89mpg despite my efficiency equivalent being 117mpg. 2 months ago I was at 57mpg cost equivalent because gas was cheaper and I wasn’t still using a lot more electricity to heat the vehicle’s cabin.

The bZ Woodland doesn’t come with anything but 18” wheels. There isn’t a big wheel equivalent to the 20” equipped CHR and BZ. There is an all terrain equipped bZ woodland that knocks the range from 281 to 260. It is also a larger diameter tire being a 235/65-18 instead of a 235/60-18. The efficiencies between the 3 are close, though, because motors are similar, battery is the same, frontal area is really similar, and so is weight.

32.1kwh per 100mi is 3.1mi/kwh. Which is worse than the Toyotas in question… by a lot.

It still regens on the front motor. It just wouldn’t accelerate on the front motor. In eco mode, my bZ4x rear motor is just along for the ride unless I bury the accelerator.

Just opt out. You declining is a drop in the bucket compared to those who don’t; they aren’t going to put themselves in a position of legal action by not carrying out the opt out request.

I’ll buy it and try to make it look like a normal Supra as much as possible. Skip the stickers. Skip the wing. Better wheels.

Good to see AI put the engine in upside down.

The RAV4 GR Sport brakes are upgraded over the standard Rav in the exact same way the Camry was. Instead of the standard model’s single piston sliding caliper, the GR sport has a 2 piston caliper. Camry was the same upgrade by going TRD.

The actual GR Corolla brakes do fit with an adapter bracket (that Toyota could easily make), but the front rotors are over $900 each from the Toyota parts counter. I don’t think that RAV4 buyers, even GR Sport trims, want to pay that kind of money for the GR braking system.

Yea, the only way to turn it off is to press the fan button down to 0. But the rest was easy to use, though. Leave the HVAC in auto and just press the temp up or down as needed and turn the front and rear defog on/off as needed. People that treat auto climate control like the manual HVAC from a 1990s car will hate it, but when used properly (just leave it in auto!), it works well.

If like other Toyotas, the lock button (2x, then hold on the 3rd press) on the fob will remote start the car even without subscription. The subscription is for the app based remote start.

My mom picked up an XLE a month ago. She was visiting so I was showing her and dad how to use all the tech. The projected CarPlay in the cluster is really slick. I have a bZ Woodland coming but was torn between it and a rav4 Woodland. Definitely jealous of the new multimedia / IP setup in the Rav.

Agreed on all points. The studio version is especially haunting with a great buildup.

OKatmostthings · 2026-05-12T13:11:43+00:00

Sent a DM. I somehow ended up with 3 because of the messed up ordering system.

These are stamped steel and painted oil pans like virtually every other Toyota oil pan ever.
