Default 2005 RX 330 aftermarket wheel question


Hi all,

Just picked up a 2005 lexus rx330, beautiful 1 owner vehicle, panoramic roof with only 80k.

I have a set of 19" Kahn Cosworth wheels that were on my Infiniti G37 sedan. Expensive set of wheels, shipped in from England 2 years ago.

Rim specs-- 19 x 8.5, 35 offset
Tire - 245 or 255, 50/19

Will these rims for the Rx330?

I did run some numbers on a wheel offset calculator, showing 25.4mm (0.96") closer on inside.

Anyone ever tried fitting 19x8.5 et35 on a rx330 or rx350 2nd Gen?

If they had same bolt pattern like 5-114.3, then you have to consider the center bore and find the correct hub centric ring.
Too close on inside is easy, H&R wheel spacers can fix that.
I installed 20mm spacer on my 13" RX450h for a few years and never have a problem.
You could use a 25mm to fix that, or 30mm to make it a little bit wider.

Thanks Rob,

The wheels are 5x114.3 bolt pattern, will need a hub Centric for sure, hub bore is 75mm on the Cosworth wheels. Will be test fitting in the next couple weeks, will update this post for other members.
