As I owned a 2000 3door RAV4 for daily car before, I can give you some opinion.

The RAV4 is a beautiful car to drive, the build quality, handling, comfortable, more space, easy to park.

Moreover, it is more safety than the vitara. I got a small accident before, I was driving straight on the main road, a Excel came out from the small road, she didn't stop on the Giveway sign and hit my passenger side door. The bumper of Excel went inside quite a bit, but the door of my car just only had the color mark, not even a dent!!

For the oil consumption, the RAV4 is quite thirsty, a full tank of petrol(35-40L) can go for around 380KM(freeway and city), I think because the car is quite heavy(when you open and close the door, you can feel it).

So I will go for the RAV4, even the vitara is cheaper and the oil consumption is better, but the RAV4 is more reliable and safety as a daily car.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So, they simply stick out too far because very wide + very low offset (at the front). At least it's up nice and high so they shouldn't bang into the car too much.

      Since this is the page where i found myself while searching for wheel fitment, i will add the ones im looking to replace too. Fenders arent rolled, so in big bumps they touch the tire (tires could be narrower). no any adjustable arms, so the camper is what it is (dont know). Wheels: 5ZIGEN Fireball Front: 18x9.5 ET12 - 245/40 Rear: 18x10.5 ET25 - 285/35

      Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
