Well heres an Update.
I went in and ask for Sensors and the guy asked for what rims and I said the 16" rav4 ones and he said they may not fit and then asked my model. I said 250 Sport and he said no way for fit, becuase with the Sport Model it has the Bigger 350 Brak calipers. He aslo said they've tried to get 17" rav4s on an AWD and I think they worked. Since I still have the 16's on order for tommrrow I'll still give them a try at Kal Tire. if not I think I'm just gonna swap Rubber with OEM rims, I was thinking of getting Aftermarket Rims anyway for summers.
So within the next week I'll see if the 16's fit, if Not if anyone with a 300 wants Rav4 Steelies lemme know and I'll hold on to them.

Yes as I reiterate(sp) these are for Winter, If you have to deal with a Winter like we do in Calgary you'll want something too, and rav4 rims are better than normal steelies.

16" works on the 250, I got that for my winter tires,as someone said above, no need for the bling in the snow, the rims get black withing 5 minutes.

the bold pattern is the same, so it will fit the studs. The prob as many have mentioned is with the HUGE brake calipers in the front. Given the clearance we have with the 18's, a few cm's, I highly doubt that the 16" will fit.
On the 250, they should fit, as the brake callipers are very similar if not the same as the 1st gen's. I recall that many used the rav4 steelies on the previous gen.

Still my only concern is the Brake calipers, as to quote my dealer "250 sport's have 350 calipers"
Thank you for sharing your info on 16's I'll be trying to put mine on very soon as its snowing as I type this now.
