Default RX330 rims on an SC

Will the new style RX330 rims fit on a 1999 SC300? Thanks in advance!

Johhny, yes they will fit...lug pattern-wise they fit fine, but you may have to get different tires. These are the exact set of wheels I wanted for my SC, but they were still too pricey for my tastes. If you do throw them on take pics, I'm curious to see what it'll look like. But I have a good feeling it'd look super. But you'd also have to drop the car a little, for it to look perfect.

I'm assuming you guys are talking about the 18" wheels from the RX (the 17's are nice, but not something sporty that you'd put on an SC). What about the 18" 5-spokes from the '04 LS Sport Package? I love those wheels, although some think they look too much like Mercedes AMG Monobloc wheels (which in my opinion combine sport/class incredibly well).

im looking at these also (in addition with others) but am worried about the FWD/AWD to RWD that our cars are. Any thoughts on the width? It just seems kind of narrow for our cars (for 18") and that's the main reason i'm holding back.

I like the LS430 18" wheels (+45 offset and 7.5" width) but those are still going for a fair amount of money.

Well, I just purchased the 18 inch chrome RX330 wheels and now in the process of buying tires. With the 7 inch diameter on the rims, I think I would be best off going 235/40/18 all the way around. I will post pics once I get everything on the car.
