Hi. New to the forum. I figured I’d show what Highlander 19s with 245/55R19 rubber fit like in a very stock 2013 Sienna SE. They fit very well, sit a bit more flush with the body but there is a minimal amount of rubbing on the rear side of the front fenders when the wheels are turned about halfway to full lock. It’s not enough that it concerns me. Also, I am tempted to plasti-dip them black. Any thoughts, recommendations or questions?

Nice, I thought about those set too. But I decided to just do the 17" le 5 spoke.

SE with none SE tail lamps. Like me XLE with SE grill. Also since it's an SE, I assume it's lower than the LE,XLE etc. That's probably why it's rubbing.

When I bought the van someone had already replaced the taillights for non-se ones. At first I thought it odd but now I like them, I like the splash of red in the rear as opposed to gray. I am considering smoking them a bit too.

I am tempted to get longer studs and maybe 10mm or so hub centric spacers to complete the look. I get the feeling that they may not rub once I do that.

Here’s a quick update:
Got to drive the van a bit more after taking a hair dryer to the bit where the tire was rubbing: no more rubbing! Grip is excellent and I love the look. Enjoy!

Looks sweet. The only real issue I have with 19-20" rims is tires are really expensive to replace. Otherwise, I'd do it as well .

So I plastidipped the wheels yesterday. I prefer the black color and I figured if nothing else it will protect the aluminum from road salt as well.

Nice, only thing I hate about plasti dip if if you try to peel it, it's hard to get it out of the nooks and crannies. I use to have a neighbor who drove a Xterra and he painted it lime green, despite him peeling it, it still left a bunch of it on the rim. I would sand it, paint it black and 2k clear it so it will last.

To remove plastidip you spray it nice and wet with wd40 and then pressure wash it off. Comes off like a charm.
I plastidipped my front bumper awhile ago to test a look out and easily removed it right after, even from the nooks. This is what I did but wasn’t 100% sure about the look.
