Do a search please, I believe there is a thread with pictures of RX300's with aftermarket rims and tires.

There are also threads of fellow members that used other year models of wheels too.

They're 235/55/18. Identical to this example on eBay:

Default 20" rims on 2002 RX300

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. I have a question, I put 20's on my RX300 and had to rebuild my tranny. I know that this year and model has tranny issues, but my mechanic says I shoukd not go larger than 17's. I love the way the 20's look, not to mention the investment of the rims/tires. Has anyone had success with 20's on a 2002, or is my mechanic right?
