Arrow Rims q's.

Hey all. Who here was able to successfully run a 18x8 ET40 rim on their RX330/350/400

They are not OEM, as the ET would suggest, i am curious if anyone has gotten away with it, seeing how these cars have the strut towers in the way...

If not what would be an acceptable range of Offsets for these SUV's ? I know that stock it is ET35, but ET40 doesn't seem like overkill...

Let me know guys'.

Cheers,
mike

35 front, 15 rear will make the wheel/tire flush with the fender.

15 front will stick out about 3/4", and 35 rear will sit inside the fender about 3/4".

One thing to consider is how wide the wheels are.
