You got the American Racing wheels! Those are back ordered everywhere. I was able to find three of them, but not four. These are the only non-OEM wheels with +30 offset that don’t look terrible (to my eyes). Congrats!

No, you provided a lecture in response to me saying that Rivian should provide an explanation if there are valid reasons not to use non-OEM wheels.

Makes sense that it’s constantly recalculating. That’s why I’m not sure if the OP needs worry about his estimated range being incorrect. The computer should detect the lower range from his new tires and adjust accordingly. It might take a few days to adjust though.

Yes I did. I asked my guide, and her answer was that they only recommend using Rivian wheels and tires, and a link to the gear shop.

Source? For other EV’s I’ve owned, range is estimated from an ambiguous formula nicknamed the “Guess O Meter (GOM)”, which attempted to learn the energy consumption rate based on your driving style & other variables, and was constantly recalculating. But the EPA rating for the tires was never...

Not sure if this is what’s being suggested, but we shouldn’t have to limit our choices because the OEM won’t accommodate. Our wheel & tire choices should only be limited by what will physically fit. If there are valid reasons not to use non-OEM wheels, then this should’ve been thoroughly...

The truck looks great and it sucks that Rivian is being unreasonable. This approach makes less sense for an “adventure vehicle” vs a sedan. They should know that buyers of trucks & adventure vehicles like to change wheels & tires to suit their adventures. This is especially true when they live...

I asked Tire Rack if they sell TPMS sensors. The answer was yes, they sell “BH SENS” brand sensors, which they say are the OEM Rivian sensors, and will work seamlessly. Price $60 each. So I searched the web for this, and found them here on Amazon for $26. Anyone have any experience using these...

Disregard these questions. I see that the poles are 1/4” and there’s tons available on Amazon.

I’m going to bring a shovel, a kinetic tow rope and whatever straps are needed to attach the rope to either end of my truck. I’m thinking it might be fun to help others that are stuck, and that’ll be a good opportunity to learn how to do it if/when I get stuck, while earning some karma credits...

I too am from the Bay Area and planning to take my R1T to Pismo s00n! Besides a tow strap, what else would you recommend bringing to be more prepared?

I’m considering getting the same wheels that @OffRoad987 showed above (20x9”, +25 offset) with 285/60 or 295/60 tires. According to this source, compared to the OEM 275/65/20’s, 295/60’s would be 0.2” shorter and 0.8” wider, and 285/60’s would be 0.6” shorter and 0.4” wider. I suspect that...

For anyone that wants to browse aftermarket wheel options, I’ve done a ton of this lately and I’ve found this website to be a very good resource, with good prices.

Haven’t done this yet. How do you precondition the battery? Is it something the truck knows to do when you enter the RAN as your destination in the nav?

Another TPMS question - What happens if you don’t use any sensors at all? I’m considering this for the spare that I’m putting together. Does it have to have a TPMS sensor?

Thanks for this TPMS update. I’m about to pull the trigger on a set of aftermarket wheels and literally have the TPMS247 sensors in my cart on their website at this moment. If anyone in the SF Bay Area knows of any tire shops that have the ability to program these for Rivians, please share that...

The article doesn’t say it’ll cost $181K. It says “…well over the price of the £150,500 (about $181,000) Cayenne Turbo GT”. Considering this, the high prices of options on new Porsches, and the fact that it’s 4-5 years away, I’m calling this a $200-$250K vehicle. The vehicle they’ve described...

Someone previously shared these wheels, but I think they’re cheaper at this website. According to this website these have a 2,200 load rating. But I question that, because I’m pretty sure these were made for cars...

I just discovered these steelies on the net. This website doesn’t say what their load capacity is, but for a spare I might be willing to risk it. Worst case is damaging a cheap wheel, and unlikely IMO...

To his credit, the guy that sells these (forget his name) responded to my complaint by agreeing to send me a new set of decals with stronger adhesive.
