Default diy: block heater/rims

hi,
i've purchased a PU140 00902 block heater for my new to me dark red 2011 auto tc. where abouts is the hole in the cylinder head for the block heater? getting ready for winter and need to know if 16" steel rims fit my car(no brake upgrade)?

Cant tell if trolling or..............


I dont think 16s are gonna fit. They come stock in 18s and the brake calipers only have about 1 inch of clearance.

Thumbs up

i'm back!
ok, the block heater went in easily enough after you remove the air filter canister. there is a run of wires along the side of the engine and the hole is just beneath the plastic wire holder. i tried my 16" sienna rims on the front wheel and it fits over the caliper(not the upgraded one). so now we know how to install the block heater along with the 16" steel wheel for winter tires now to the install of the extra back-up light............
