Default 20 inch wheels on 04 GX

Hi, I just joined this forum. I look forward to chatting with everyone. I have a question. Can I take the 20 inch wheels off my 2001 expedition and put them on my 04 GX? If so, will negatively impact the car safety and performance? I'm just doing it for the looks. I love the wheels. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

The stock tire is a 265/65R17 which comes out to 30.6 inches diameter. If you go any larger diameter I'm thinking you get rubbing in turns. There's an entire 'off road' Lexus forum out there. They make all sorts of changes - they'd know for sure. I'd search this forum for 'tires and wheels' and see what pops up.

Bolt pattern for a 2001 Expedition:
  • 5 x 135
  • Diameter: 16.0'' - 17.0'';
  • Width (inches): 7 - 7.5;
  • Offset (mm): 14.
Bolt pattern on a 2004 GX:
  • 6 x 139.7
  • Diameter: 17.0'' - 20.0'';
  • Width (inches): 7.5 - 10;
  • Offset (mm): 0 - 25.
So just the fact that the Ford has five lugs and the Lexus has six means "nope."

Wow! Ok, I guess I'll have to start from scratch. Thank you for the information!
