    • Description

      The Team 1EV R500 Directional Aero pairs a forged wheel with a directional spoke design, so each set comes as two left-side and two right-side wheels. Every 18x8.0 set is custom machined to order for the Rivian R2.

      Forged, then machined to order

      The R500 is forged aluminum, CNC machined after forging, and rated at 825 kg (1,819 lb) per wheel, with testing to JWL, VIA, SAE J2530 and TÜV standards. Team 1EV's estimated weight for the 18-inch R500 is 30 lb per wheel.

      Directional by design

      Because the spokes face one way, left and right wheels aren't interchangeable. Rotate tires front to rear on the same side of the vehicle so the design keeps pointing forward.

      Bolt-on R2 fitment

      The 5x114.3 bolt pattern, 64.1 mm hub-centric bore and +38 mm offset are matched to the R2, so the wheel centers on the hub and bolts on without spacers, adapters or trimming. It reuses the factory lug nuts, TPMS sensors and center caps, and it can replace any of the R2's factory 19-, 20- or 21-inch wheels.

      Why 18 inches

      Dropping to an 18-inch wheel leaves room for a taller sidewall, which absorbs sharp hits from potholes and rocks and keeps the rim farther from curbs. It's the size to choose if you air down on trails or want the most cushion on rough roads.

      Tire packages arrive ready to bolt on

      Every package is mounted and balanced with factory-spec TPMS sensors installed. There are 18 tires in five sizes: 265/65R18 keeps the most range and is the only size with a dedicated winter tire, 275/65R18 matches the factory overall height in a wider passenger build, LT265/65R18 and LT275/65R18 add light-truck strength for gravel and trails, and LT275/70R18 brings the tallest sidewall and an overland stance.

      Sets, spares and finishes

      Order a set of four, a set of five with a matching spare, or a single wheel. Choose Satin Black, Gloss Black, Adventure Bronze, Anthracite Gray, Brushed Satin, Diamond Matte Bronze or Diamond Black, or order a custom finish.

    A directional aero wheel for the R2, forged in 18 inches

    The Team 1EV R500 Directional Aero is an 18x8.0 forged wheel made for the Rivian R2 (2026–present). Each set has two left-side and two right-side wheels and is custom machined to order. It bolts on with the factory lug nuts and TPMS and carries an 825 kg load rating. Order it as wheels only or as a mounted package with your choice of 18 all-terrain, all-season, overland and winter tires.

    Installation and care

    Have us install it in Van Nuys, CA or Atlanta, GA

    We can move your current tires onto these wheels and install them, or install the complete wheel & tire package. Check the install service under Recommended Add-Ons when you order, then contact us to schedule.

    View instructions & Rivian tire care guide

    DIY installation instructions, plus how to maintain and rotate your Rivian's tires for maximum range and tread life.

    • View the EV Sportline Rivian Wheel & Tire DIY Installation Guide
    • Follow the recommended cold tire pressures on your vehicle's Tire and Loading Information label, inside the driver-side door jamb. Check pressure after the vehicle has been parked out of direct sunlight for more than three hours. Use our AMAXX Digital Tire Inflator for quick pressure checks and adjustments.
    • Rotate tires every 6,250 miles, or sooner if tread depth differs by 2/32 inch or more, to maximize tread life and keep wear even.
    • When installing wheels, torque the 22mm lug nuts to 140 lb-ft (190 Nm).
    • After tire service, drive 15 minutes or longer at highway speeds so the TPMS sensors can report tire pressures.
    • Tire pressure changes with temperature, driving and sunlight. Underinflation can reduce range, speed up wear and create a safety risk.
    • Some Rivian models don't come with a spare. Consider a single spare tire assembly so a flat never leaves you stranded.

    R500 wheels are directional: each set has two left-side and two right-side wheels. Mount each wheel on its own side, and rotate tires front to rear on the same side only.

    Questions owners ask

    Do these wheels fit every Rivian R2?

    Yes. They're approved for the R2 Standard, Premium and Performance from model year 2026 on, and they can replace the factory 19-, 20- or 21-inch wheels. They bolt on without spacers, adapters or suspension changes.

    Can I reuse my factory lug nuts, TPMS sensors and center caps?

    Yes. These wheels accept the R2's factory lug nuts, TPMS sensors and center caps, so no new hardware is required. Wheel & tire packages come with four factory-spec TPMS sensors already installed, which leaves your original sensors on your factory wheels.

    Which tire size should I choose for 18-inch wheels on my R2?

    265/65R18 and LT265/65R18 are the narrowest choices, so they keep the most range, and 265/65R18 is the only 18-inch size offered with a dedicated winter tire. 275/65R18 is 10 mm wider and about the same overall height as the factory tires. LT275/65R18 adds light-truck construction for gravel and trail use. LT275/70R18 is about an inch taller overall, for the most sidewall and the most rugged stance, with some loss of range.

    Can I build a winter set for my R2 on 18-inch wheels?

    Yes. Choose the Bridgestone Blizzak IcePeak in 265/65R18. A complete winter package lets you swap sets each season without paying to remount tires.

    Can I rotate the R500's directional wheels?

    Yes, front to rear on the same side of the vehicle. Each set has two left-side and two right-side wheels, so they don't swap from side to side.

    Do wheel & tire packages arrive ready to install?

    Yes. Packages ship with the tires mounted and balanced and the TPMS sensors installed, so they bolt straight on. Wheels-only orders include center caps; you'll need a tire shop to mount tires.

    Will aftermarket wheels void my vehicle's factory warranty?

    No. Under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, an automaker can't deny warranty coverage simply because aftermarket wheels are installed. To deny a claim, it has to show the wheels caused the problem. Our wheels are built to each vehicle's hub, bolt pattern and load requirements.

    How should I clean my wheels without damaging the finish?

    Use a pH-neutral wheel cleaner and a soft brush, and rinse while the wheels are cool. Skip acid-based cleaners and car washes with tire-scrubbing brushes. A ceramic coating makes brake dust easier to rinse off.
