20 inch Wheels, What is the widest tire I can fit?

Any suggestions? not staggered, I want to be able to rotate...
My thought is 20 x 8.5 with 255 45 20.

20"'s are wider than factory specs so probably ought to go with the wheel specs if you do get them. I'd make sure they won't be a problem in the wheel well or offer handling issues because Lexus doesn't offer a 20' on the RX.

Sewall's has chrome 19" Lexus wheels and you can get the ClubLexus discount.

use this wheel calculator to determine the correct tire and wheel size (including offset) that you should get.

The RX can bolt 22' on with no problem. Just make sure the wheels are low offset <20mm, so that the extra width will not get in the way of the suspension parts.
