When you put wheels on the RX you have to go with a car setup... With SUV rims they tend to be a bit wide, and as you may know wide isn't good for the RX.... All the RX is, Is a Camry raised.....

I don't think they'll fit, to wide.... We can only go about 8" wide. Anything wider than that and they'll be problems with rubbing and hitting the struts... Nice rims though...

Syph,
If I really wanted them to fit what would i have to do?
is it a big inconvenience? I like

It doesnt say anywhere that they do or dont fit on a RX..
Where can I find out?

I wouldn't bother.... Look for a rim that is similar and no wider that 8" wide.... And also the offset would have to be minimal.. Or you can change the whole suspension and then see... See the wheelwell is big enough to fit 22's with ease, but with the Shocks/Struts and the depth all cause problems... IMO go with a nice set of 19"x8" or even 7.5" are even better....


Oh, and Mike welcome back... How was it out there?????

Is there anything else I should know besides keeping the width under 8?

OFF-SET.... Keep the off set to a minimal.. Like +20 I think is ideal, but I am not the expert on this...

I know a guy that will sell me brand new chrome 18" x 8" Lowenhart knock-offs. They are the Arceo brand for 1300.00, I am thinking about it. I saw a RX that was on those but in 19s and not chrome. Anyone have suggestions?

SIZE= 18" X 8 "

OFFSET= 40MM

BOLT PATTERN= 5-112 & 5 X 114

will these fit?

Hey guys.... I just ordered my car.... I am getting a "02" GS300 "SportDesign".... I'm taking the only one they got.. They just got in yesturday for the showroom and they said they haven't sold one yet and I'm the first...... It is Hott, Millennium Silver, Black Perforated leather, Black Walnut Trim... But no Navi... Oh well, I can live without that....

I got already the Ugo roof spoiler, TRD mesh grill, and I have Borla's on the way... Looking as we speak for 19" rims....
