Default 1999 Lexus RX 300 wheels Will 2nd and 3rd gen fit? Will other Lexus models wheels fi

I have 1999 RX 300. The tires need to be repaced so I thought it would look nice to upgrade with the newer Lexus RX wheels and tire. Will they fit? And what about the the other Lexus models wheels and tires like the LS and GS. Will the Bolt patterns match and offset?

The RX330/350 wheels will fit if you keep the tires the same outside diameter. 235s will fit fine and some people run 245s.

Default 1999Lexus RX 300 wheels

I currently have 16 x225x70 tires mounted on stock rims. Just want to upgrade with the newer generation wheels and tires.(17's and maybe 18's)

Thank you. You mentioned same outside diameter. Do the newer gen RX have lower profile tires if their rims are larger? Offset and bolt pattern ok?

Yes, the RX330/350 have 17" and/or 18" wheels. The offset and bolt circle diameter are the same on the newer cars' wheels. Several people on this forum have upgraded their wheels to the 330/350. Be careful going to 18" wheels - you might find the ride becomes too harsh.
