I changed mine over from 16x7" stockies to 17x7½" chromes, and the offset is similar to stock, though I miss out on about 2 thread turns. Confused

The spare tyre, however, is a different matter.... having a modified rear wiper arm (from a Toyota Kluger) which is thicker than a RAV4 stocker, combined with a much wider tyre on a bigger rim means that I had to use a 10mm spacer on the rear door studs. Shocked The rear wiper arm does get it's full swing now without jamming up against the tyre. The studs are still stock and the wheel nuts only get about 3 or 4 turns on the spare wheel, but there's no wobbling or rattling at speed, even with only 3 nuts/studs holding the wheel on.
