Default Just bought 18" rx330 wheels.

Hey guys,

I just bought 18" rx330 wheels. I think they will look awesome!

I'm just not positve they will fit. The offset is 35.

Anyone have pics of these on an ES?



Thanks,

They look cool, but if your not positive they'll fit then why buy them in the first place?

I would but they're 3000miles away. I should have them in 5 business day provided UPS doesn't F-up again.

28lbs i think. At least they're strong.
I'm not too concerned about that. Lets face it our cars aren't fast.

LOL... thats my philosophy as well. My sub by itself weighs 55 pounds, and thats just the raw driver, no box.

Let us know your results. It opens up more possibilities.

Can I ask where you bought them and for how much?

thanks!!

I just bought those exact wheels for my 2002 es300, i dont have them on yet because i havnt purchased tires yet. but i fitted them on my car while it was on jacks, and they fit perfectly fine.

Congrats on your purchase though. How much did u pay for them?

The only problems is tire fitment.

Since they're 7" wide I can't fit 225 40 18" tires.

I'm thinking of going 225 45 18" but concerned about rubbing.

215 40 18" is a posibility but cant find much in that size.

Any suggestions?
