Hi,

We have a 2007 RAV4 Limited with Alloy rim and used the full size spare tire today and noticed that the RIM does not match the one on the wheels. There is no Toyota nameplate in the center. I tried to use the nameplate from the flat tire and put on the spare, but it does not fit as the wheel center rod will poke it out. The lug nuts have a washer and the washer does not engage on the spare, where it does on the tire rim of the non-spares.

Just wonder if that is the way factory settings have it, or was my spare swapped out by someone during the many times we went to shops for maintenance.

If someone have a 2007 RAV4 Limited, please help confirm if the full size spare rim should have a the nameplate and should look the same as the other tires.

Thank you in advance.
