Hi John,

I did quite a bit of research... We can certainly go for 19s, 20, and even 21s... For 19s, I don't want to have very low profile tires, I prefered to have 255/55 or 255/50 (I forgot which one exactly), but I think that will cause rubbing. I was recommended to go for 40 or 45 series tires, but the tires will be too thin for me...

Yes, Lowenhart will fit RX, in that picture, it looks like 20s... For now, I'm just holding off ... I'm still very interested to change the wheels and tires, though...

I'll keep you posted on any new info, please keep me posted as well...

thanks,
Hendry

that picture is from a japanese car magazine called "af (autofashion) original" the reason i know this is because i have that issue. the rims in question are lowenhart ld1s but i'd have to go look for that particular magazine to find out what size they were...if you can find that magazine where you live (it can get tuff to find them import magazines) you should pick it up. they often have articles featuring fixed up harriers...

John,

Those rims are in fact lowenhart ld1s as StrmRdr23 has said, and they are 20 inch wheels sitting on 255/35 I believe. If you go to:
www.store.yahoo.com/lexusparts and go to wheel section, you can look into purchasing these wheels. Other option is that you can email hiro at wavy@attglobal.net who runs the site and he can help you out. Hope this helps.

I was thinking about 19's... I called Lowenhart and we could go with 20's no problem, but we need to go with a car rim and with a SUV rim... With the SUV rims they tend to be wider... ????? I don't know how true that is, but that's what he said....

I almost bought this one RX that was forsale along time ago. I posted pics of it in the RX gallery. It is a show car (hint: It's the one that has an Orange paint job). That has Lexani 20s. Its in the gallery check it out. He put those on, and it looks good. Hope that is a suggestion to anyone. Im just gonna stay with the stock rims. I heard putting even 18s mess up the ride of the car.
