Default F Sport Rims on Second Gen (Fitment)

Hey guys,

Tried searching the forums, and Google but haven't come across this yet. Has anyone tried putting the Third Gen F Sport Rims on a Second Gen RX? If so, do they fit without spacers?

The rims in question are from the new F Sport RX. They are 19 x 7.5-in split-five-spoke alloy wheels with Dark Graphite finish and 235/55VR19. I believe they are +40 offsets.



Based on the 1010tires calculation, I would need to run either 235/50/19, or 245/50/19 (not sure if these would fit on a 19x7.5 rim) to keep the diameter variance below 1%.

Just wanted to see if anyone has done this, and if I could get away with no spacers (and if not, how big of a spacer do I need if I want to clear the brakes and struts). Also, what would be the ideal tire size (235 or 245). I believe our stock rims are +35 offsets, 18x7 inches.

Thanks!
