Looks cool, but can you imagine pulling too close to the gutter one day and cheese-grating those rims? :o

Also, Im no expert, but wouldnt it mess up the speedo? Not to mention the comfort of your ride?

If the rolling diameter of the wheel & tyre is the same as the stock, then the speedo won't be affected (as the rim size goes up, the tyre sidewall height should go down). But YES it would ride significantly differently I would think!!! :blink:

I have 22's on my Kluger with 285/35-22's

It's 0.8 % of speedo.

It bit firmer ride but not uncomfortable. More stable in corners and sharper steering.

Car on photo has 265/35-22 which are bit to narrow for that size of rim making them easy to gutter damage.

Gotta say its not my cup of tea, but biggest reason is greater inertia of all that weight located as its centroid is further out from the center and thus consume power to accelerate and more force to stop.

I thought 19's were big :blink: i must be old :unsure::lol:

You would get more ground clearance though :clap:

Might actually make the speedo read correctly. Every Mark II Kluger reads about 5km/hr too high.

I've had a firendly discussion with the dealer about that... will be bringing my GPS with me for the next service. Don't expect much though.

22" will lose handling, less power on wheel, and lost the ability to run over kerb. :huh:

I don't even want to upgrade my RX-8 to 19" for the road. RICE will tell you similar I'm sure ;) . I want to downgrade to a 17" for racing if the brake disc allows.

I looks OKish... certainly different. <_<

But I will not sacrifice handling for it, particularly we don't have much to start with. :mellow:

I went on 22's mostly for bling B) B) .

I'm not planing making Kluger faster on better handling....................went thou 2 WRX's and spend enough money to make them faster and better handling.

They are set to show 5-6 km too high.

Any dealer knows that.They dont need GPS.They can use IT (Inteligent Tester) which will show them accurate speed.

I tested mine and it was 5 km off ( IT vs gauge)

As i had 19's,20's and 22's i can say tthat you can feel difference in weight of different wheels.

My 20's were 3,5kg heavier (each) than stocks and there more effort needed for stopping...........same for acceleration.

22's are just 1 kg heavier (Enkei's) than stockies (incl.tyres) and both braking and accelerating is pretty much same as with stockies.

There is no win-win situation in this game.............as i have 20 Klugers in my work shed i can say there is difference in performance between models.

Best acceleration..........KXR AWD

Best handling KXS AWD.

2WD are too "boaty",AWD's handle much better.

Why would they set them high delibrately? That doesn't make sense to me.

Not my cup of tea getting larger rims with lower profile tyre, not for an semi-offroader anyway. They look good, but defeating the purpose of the car unless its stricly tarmac use.

Thats why I bought the car to have the ability to go off road if required.

I wouldnt want the extra concern of damaging the rims by going off road or going over gutters, pot holes, rocks etc.

Will stiull try... once again - no high hopes there.

Is there a error margin set - e.g %%% or just km/ph?

You are right but with all honesty 90 % of Kluger buyers will newer go off road (Kernel or Stockton beach should not be counted as off road).

Personally i had not had any issues on sandy beach with 22's,and if i planned using car for off road i would not get Kluger.

But, in case i decide to go off road it takes 10 minutes to swap back to stockies.

BTW i would not count Kluger as soft off roader.........even Toyota calls it People mower...........and 60% sold are FWD.

IMO Subaru Forester is more off roader than Kluger..........

It does make sense...........all vehicles built 2005 and after MUST have margin..............ask RTA for details :blink:

Ok, I found some information about this. It makes sense from Toyota's point of view.

http://www.trafficlaw.com.au/speedos.html

Current Australian design rules (ADR) for cars built after July 2006 for speedos allow NO under-reading and over-reading of 10%+4km/hr. This means for a vehicle travelling at a true speed of 100km/hr, the speedo should read anywhere between 100-114km/hr. Vehicles built before this date had a +/-10% allowable error meaning the speedo could display 90-110km/hr for the same true speed.

So, I can now see why Toyota would set the speedo to over-read. The speedometer still has some error margin from manufacturer of up to +/-10% but most likely alot less, let's say +/-5%, so Toyota must set speedo to over-read by that error in order to comply with ADR.

It just grates on my nerve that the speedometer is delibrately set to over-read. But this is becasue I'm an Instrument Fitter by trade and have been calibrating electronic and mechanical instrumentation for over 20 years.

Has anyone verified if their odometer is out by the same margin as the speedo?

ECU if programed by Factory to register accurate speed but to display more on speedo.

Odo IS accurate............checked few times on M4........also checked with Toyota IT.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Thanks Martin. I thought that may have been the case. However, it seems an anomaly with so much tech on board. My wife always looks for this feature after an ugly incident while stopped at a traffic light some years ago. As you said ...perhaps an OTA update? One other thing if you don't mind me asking. What is the build date on your vehicle? The C-HR's that appeared at my local dealer in the last fortnight all have an October or November 23 build date. Thanks, Peter

      Transmission U660e

      Not every Estima is fitted with the 2GR-FE and U660e drivetrain. This is where you have to take care that information on the internet is applicable to your specific vehicle.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Hi I was very lucky to receive one of the first new models last month. My Koba is amazing- as have all of my previous Toyotas. However in answer to your question it does not automatically lock the doors when you engage Drive or when you reach a preset speed. I am very disappointed that with all of the electronic devices and safety features and the approximately 20% increase in price over the last model that Toyota Australia has left a very important safety feature out of the vehicle. We see cars being carjacked almost nightly on the news. My knowledge of technology in this sector is limited but surely it is only an update of the operating systems to fix this. The new model is a beautiful car- your wife should still buy one.

      is it possible to import US model Sienna to Australia?

      I rent a 2023 model in US just few days ago it’s beauty and real good on fuel much nicer to drive compare to Honda Odyssey which I own one 2022 model make me wonder why Toyota AUS won’t bring the Sienna hybrid to Australia instead we get bulky ugly looking Granvia with diesel engine 🤔🤔!!

      How to delete bluetooth device?

      I have a Yaris and had a similar issue. I just submitted a similar query to GPT. The response was to go into settings, view paired devices, select the device to remove, and confirm the removal. It helped me; I couldn't find the answer on the internet, but I found it there.

      Transmission U660e

      @campbeam much appreciated, very interesting, it’s got me buggered as on the Toyota Estima groups everyone is quoting 1.6 litres cold for a drain and drop, now, these run the exact same drivetrain as the Aurion 2GR-FE and U660E combo, so in theory all figures should line up, I’m hedging my bets on your maths and techniques though, you seem well versed…. thanks again

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      My wife is looking at purchasing a new 2024 C-HR Hybrid. Does anyone with one of these know whether the doors lock automatically when driving off? Her 2018 C-HR doesn't do this which is annoying as my 11 year old Kia Sportage does.
