Do a search please, I believe there is a thread with pictures of RX300's with aftermarket rims and tires.

There are also threads of fellow members that used other year models of wheels too.

Yes, I've been real happy with '05 RX330 18s that I found on Craigslist:

They're 235/55/18. Identical to this example on eBay:

Default 20" rims on 2002 RX300

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. I have a question, I put 20's on my RX300 and had to rebuild my tranny. I know that this year and model has tranny issues, but my mechanic says I shoukd not go larger than 17's. I love the way the 20's look, not to mention the investment of the rims/tires. Has anyone had success with 20's on a 2002, or is my mechanic right?
