Currently looking for a used set to use for Winter tires. OEM is 18" X 7.5", 5 on 114.3 mm bolt pattern. Can't verify the back spacing.

Question:
Can anyone tell me what other oem Lexus wheel will fit this vehicle ?
I'm seeing many available for the sedans but again, cannot verify if the back spacing will match.

Thanks for your help

almost any Lexus wheel will fit... my first choice would be to look for 16" older gen RX wheels... someone may be able to tell you for sure, but I don't think the brakes would be a clearance issue at all... ES, GS, IS wheels will all fit no problem...

might be cheaper to find a new set of aftermarket wheels though...

Cody,
Thanks for the reply. I could go with an older 16" but will need to find a tire just as tall as the 235/60-18. This shouldn't be a huge problem.

Any ideas on the back spacing for the models other than the RX ?

Almost all stock Lexus wheels are between 45 and 50 mm positive offset for the cars... the RX vehicles I believe were all +35 mm offset, yours included...

a 235/70-16 will be within a tenth of an inch and would fit on an OEM 16" RX300 wheel no problem... just gotta make sure it will clear the brakes is the only potential issue I see...the best part about 16's is that tires are sooo much cheaper... Blizzak DM-V1's in that size are only $536 for the set from Tire Rack right now...

That's the risk I'm running. Here in Canada once I buy them on-line they are mine whether fit or no-fit. Duties & taxes really prohibit such a purchase for a used product.
A 235/60-18 Blizzak locally is $300.0 + install + HST @ 13%.
I can get them sent to Calais, Maine & retrieve them myself for about $166.00 + 15% duty/tire. Install locally will cost about $100.00/4.

I'll keep looking around on-line, perhaps post an ad here under "Wanted".

Local dealer has a Winter wheel/tire special running currently.
4 OEM wheels, Blizzaks, centre caps,TPMS units, lug nuts installed & balanced for $3295.00 + 13% HST.

Cheers,

Working on a deal for 19" OEM RX350 wheels. Includes centres, TPMS, lug nuts & locking lug nuts. Splitting hairs on the overall tire height 235/60-18 (29.1") vs. 235/55-19 (29.2").
Speedo difference would be zero or very very near zero.
Speedo cable driven like my old '71 Buick or are they digital/analog signals ?

Don't worry about the speedometers signal... the difference is so moot, I highly doubt even Lexus differentiates between the two... it is definitely not cable driven, on Lexus, it is either ABS sensor or transmission sensor driven...

Just closed what I think is a sweet deal.
4 X '11 19" rims in mint, mint, condition. TPMS, centre caps, lug nuts & locking lug nuts.
$900.00 + ship.

I'm looking to get a set for my '12 RX as well. Is this from a private seller? Otherwise, would love a contact.

Thanks.
