Not sure if this has been asked before, or if the information is somewhere I can't find. But, I have a 2015 RC 350 AWD (F-sport) and would like to know the specs on the oem factory wheels.

I have 19" x 8" OEM factory wheels and I might be looking to add a new set of wheels come spring time. Does anyone know the specs on these wheels (or any other sizes for that matter, I know some people have 18")?
Mostly, I would like to know what the weight of each wheel is so that I can keep in mind how much unsprung weight I am adding/subtracting when I buy a new set of wheels.

Couldn't find this info on a number of sites selling the OEM wheel.

 

19"'s are a staggered setup, I believe theyre 19x8 in the front and 19x9 in the rear, im unsure of the offset though.

 

I have an AWD model so I think that the front and back are both 19 x 8. I have 235/40/19 tires on all four and don't notice any more stretching on the back compared to the front.

Looks like offset is 45 mm. But I can't find the weight anywhere.

 

I always use Discount Tire. They can typically get any wheel brand and for cheaper. They will be able to give you all the needed offset info. I am not sure what the offset is for the OEM wheels but I can tell you it is not enough. Weight will vary depending on what type of wheel you get (forged, flow form, 1 piece, 2 piece, 3 piece, etc).

 

Ditto on Discount Tire. They hooked me up on friday with two new meats for the rear. They can get you anything you need.

 

Thank you for your support jonmonkey and Pittsy. We show the Lexus RC350 F-Sport AWD wheels are 19x8 5-114.3 with a center bore that is 60.10, unfortunately we don't show the weight of the factory tires or wheels.

 

^^^^Everything but the offset I think it's +45.

You're correct, Lou - the offset is ET+45

 

I keep seeing how Discount Tire hooks everyone up, I dont feel like they're hooking me up I went to get 2 fronts (235/40/19) quoted and they want $800 for Michelins.

 

I haven't bought tires for my wife's RC yet, but I have bought many set of wheels and tires from DT and they always go above and beyond. I deal with the contacts on the forums, and I order most things as a complete bolt on pkg but they have been top notch. I have ordered tires for my NX since adding 20" wheels and they were awesome. Gave me a better deal than what was on the website.

 

You neglected to specify what model of Michelins you were quoted. And yes, the quoted price seems high. Over the years, 25 to be exact, they have taken good care of me. Back in June, I put 4 michelin PS4S on my LC500. 255/40/21 in front and 295/35/21 in back. The two fronts, installed, cost me $624, exclusive of taxes. The PS4S is Michelin's best Max Performance tire.

Edit - I see you're in Arizona. If you're local to me, just south of the valley, maybe I can help you out.

I just got a set of 20" PS4S's on the rears for 700~ WITH WARRANTY. But to me, paying a little extra or whatever doesn't phase me. DT always helps me out, so its worth the extra dollars. They always help out whether it be a flat, low pressure, rebalance, rotations, etc etc. They're awesome.

 

They were PS4S, the only rubber he had in stock and didn't offer anything else knowing I wasn't going to pull the trigger right then and there. I also noticed he included $47 per tire disposal fee, which I thought was absurd especially coming from regulation heavy California. $624 I can agree with, that is reasonable for the tires, install and warranty.

Yep I'm in AZ, West Valley though.

 

They disposed both of my old rears for 5$ total.

 

Thank you for thinking of us, datbluegrl and hello from Surprise, AZ

I think some of the numbers may have been transposed as disposal runs $2.75 per tire in Arizona.

It sounds like you may have been quoted for a pair of tires with installation, disposal, state fee's, taxes, and optional road hazard warranty.

I'm happy to provide you with a detailed price breakdown if you'd like - just shoot us PM with your vehicle year make and model along with your zip code and I'll make sure you're taken care of.

We're happy to run over other options with you as well.
