Alright, who posted this picture in the RX gallery (below). I want answers and I want them now!
I really like the way they look except for the fact that I don't want any quite that big, they look like they could be 19" - the firewall is so small. Even so they look great and if anyone recognizes those, maybe the width. I hate to use spacers and wonder what is the widest size i can use in a wheel - I think it may be 7.5". The RX in the picture also looks lowered which I also do NOT desire to do at all. Any info would be helpful, I really like the look of the lip on the wheel.
I went to http://store.yahoo.com/lexusparts and they had wheels for the RX at 7.5 inches for the widest and is also says +35. I am not exactly sure what these numbers mean when compared to my backspacing and things such as this, could someone please shed some light on this too. Thanks for any help.

That's a picture of a Harrier turned RX300. The window guards, ground effects kit and side blinkers give it away. It's popular for Harrier owners to replace the badging with Lexus emblems. The wheels look like 18s or 19s, and yes, it's lowered.
They look like they're Lowenhart LD-1s
, which are a Japanese wheel.

Another obvious clue is the wiper position.
It is parked on the left, which indicates it's a
right-hand-drive Harrier. Our US RX300s have wipers
parked on the right... No matter how many Lexus
badges are placed on Japanese Harriers, I can still
tell it's a Harrier. Now Japnese Harrier owners
aren't crazy enough to replace the entire wiper
assemblies... I hope..?
One more detail, the windshield washer fluid nozzles
on Harriers only spary two streams, whereas our
RX300s nozzles sprays 3 streams...
Oh God, have I become so addicted to my RX300 now...
