I recently got some winter tires and rims for my RX... that were from a 05 highlander... same bolt pattern 5x114.3 and the tire size was exactly the same... yet when i put the rear rims on... they rubbed on the strut... they have put wheel spacers in and it seems to not rub anymore... but im wondering what is the offset of the rear rims... so in spring when i go to buy some used rims... i dont end up with this problem...

Cheers

 

Factory offset is 35. What was the offset on the Highlander wheels?

 

Not a clue... i was told they were a direct bolt on for my lexus...

the weird part was it only rubbed on the rear drivers side tire.. not the pass side..... they put in a set a 1/4 inch rear spacers i think it was..and they seem to not be rubbing anymore.. however.. im not sure how much space that gave me.. for when the snow comes and the wheelwell gets full of snow...

 

I always thought that they were the same specifications. I have both a 300 and a HL and Ive interchanged with no issues.

Curious, what size tire are you running?

 

ill have to go outside and check for sure.. but i thought it was like 225-60-16 or something like that... ill look when i let the dogs out next..

 

Not to ask you to go pull a tire in Canadian winter but for future reference, the offset is stamped on the inside of the rim.
