Default 2010 rims on a 2004

I'm looking at a set of 18x7.5 size rims. Not sure exactly what year they are. Seller says they are off a RX 350. They do not have the dimples in-between the spokes. they are smooth. I assume they are 2010-2014.

I currently have 2004 factory chrome 18" wheels with 235-55-18 tires size. MY RX is a 2004.

Does anybody know if the 3rd gen rims fit on a 2nd gen car? The thing that concerns me is the 7.5" width compared to I think we have 7" width.

We also have +35mm offset. not sure about the 3rd gen rims.

Really could use some help here. Thanks.

If you needed spacers, it would be on the rear. Fronts have enough room for snow cables. I test fit a 19" 2011 wheel on my 06 and it fit fine. The 1/2" of clearance became 1/4" between the wheel and the rear shock tower.

18" 3rd gen RX wheels should be super cheap (less than $300 on a good day) as the upgraded 19s are more desirable.

Thanks for the response.

I will look into the 19".

BTW the numbers you threw out are all relevant. Where you live in the land of triple chrome and sunshine those 18" silver rims may be nothing but here in the land of salt and cold they get more money. Sucks for me huh.
