2019 Rav4 spare wheel

[BernG]

Thanks Pete

[Scottydog007]

I bought a second hand wheel and tyre. Mine is a 17” which is the same as a space saver but an 18” will also fit.

I sourced a jack and tool kit. I think the jack has to be rated at 1.5 tonnes or above. Yesterday I saw a standard 2.5 tonne jack at Halfords which will fit the under-sills and this was cheap. Toyota will charge £95.

I sourced the screw fixing directly from my main dealer which normally cost £6 but he gave it to me. I had just spent £700 on a tow bar.

This poll, if you believe in such things, suggest quite a few people want a spare wheel, and not just a space saver:

Hi... Still awaiting delivery of my much anticipated Awd Excel... To those fortunate enough to be in receipt of their vehicles, what is the  raic with the spare? 

Full size? Space saver? Or silly kit thing as standard?

It's an 18" Space saver.

Mine is a 2021 Dynamic, because I ordered the panoramic roof the system automatically deletes the space saver and adds the tyre repair kit, to do with emissions apparently 

Dealer wouldn’t / couldn’t order one for me so I picked up a brand new genuine Toyota alloy space saver complete with jack, tools, foam insert etc for £150, well worth it for peace of mind.

Hi Grant, I got it off eBay, searched for “genuine Toyota RAV4 space saver”, none came up at first so saved the search and was alerted after a couple of weeks.

The seller had it advertised for £180 or best offer, I won it for £150 including jack, tools and insert, I have seen a few others come up but they seem to be well over £200.

Just checked on eBay and found this one (nothing to do with me) the 17” will fit all wheel sizes (17”, 18” and 19”) on HEV vehicles, the PHEV requires an 18” wheel.

Another option that a number of people on here have gone for is to buy a kit from “Road Hero”

I went for Road Hero, a bit more expensive, but happy with it.

So what size are your wheels, I think they should have been 18" rims but it's worth a check on the car as it will make a difference to what you buy.

If it’s a HEV it doesn’t matter what diameter wheels you have, it’s the “overall diameter” (wheel + tyre wall) that matters.
The genuine Toyota alloy space saver with a T165/80D 17 104M tyre will fit RAV4’s with 17”, 18” or 19” wheels, this is because as the wheel diameter increases the tyre wall (profile) decreases keeping the overall diameter the same.

I have 19”alloys on my Dynamic and a genuine Toyota alloy space saver (17 x 4T) as above which is what Toyota recommend.

If you have a PHEV you need an 18” wheel to clear the larger discs / hubs.

Yes I understand what you are saying about overall size, the only reason I asked about wheel size is my 2022 Excel came with a space saver and it was the 18" wheel supplied as standard, In fact it is slightly larger overall than the standard road wheel.
