Hmmm?

Welcome to the Forum Jon, that's an interesting situation you have there! The V6 Venza should come with these 20" wheels:

I have been on the Venza forum for quite a while and have never heard of this before. The offset and wheel width are the same between the two, but the bolt pattern on the Venza is 114.3mm and the Highlander is 115mm, so I don't know if it would actually bolt onto a Venza. Can you post some close up pictures of the wheels so we can see what you have?

Thanks!

 

:welcome: Jon

 

Actually I think the highlander has same bolt pattern as venza 114.3mm.

 

Yeah, I think you are correct. When I Googled Highlander 19" wheels, the listings showed 115, but if I Google Highlander bolt pattern, it says 114.3.

 

Another way to confirm the wheel size is to look at the tire size - does it say 245-50 R20 or something else?

John

 

Yep. Rav4 is the same bolt pattern. 5x114.3. Lets see some pics!!

 

The 2011 Venza V6 I just bought has 20" wheels.

I wish I could find a local Venza owner to trade for his 19-inchers.

Even a Highlander owner for his 18-inchers.

Yeah, comfort is more important to me than looks.

 

Not sure if this is doable but perhaps fit 55 series onto the 20's instead of 50 series. It may be 20's with 55 series will not fit in the wheel wells though.

 

Or just sell your 20" and buy an 18" yourself. I don't find my 20" harsh at all. Even smoother than my 2016 CRV with 17"s.

 

That's what I need to determine. The test drive surprised me with how quietly the car went over rough spots in the road. (The only time I'll ever try to not avoid rough spots.)

In the two weeks since buying the car, it's been driven about two miles. One mile to Pep Boys to get the brake fluid flushed, then home. (Nothing else seemed to need attention.) This Texas winter has been wet, and I'm trying to preserve the dealer's detailing and polish as long as I can. The car has sat in the garage the whole time. Raises my property values, no doubt.

I had advertised on Craigslist to swap my tires with a Highlander owner, but not a nibble. Didn't know Camry wheels would work as well. Have to look into that, thanks.

A month later, I swap my 245/50R20s with another Venza owner for his 245/5519s.

His Venza is red, and my larger 5-spoke wheels look better on his vehicle.

At the same time, my Venza is white, and his smaller 10-spoke wheels look better on my vehicle.

Or so we think.

Does my car ride better/softer? I think so, but also think I might not be able to tell the difference in a blind test.

Still, am glad the swap was made, if only for appearance.

 

There's a set of 19's here in Boise Idaho for $400. https://boise.craigslist.org/wto/5358480837.html

 

Aha. So there is a market for these wheels.

Boise is a little too far from San Antonio, but thanks.
