Default spare tire

can anyone tell me whether the RX330 has a full size spare or a compact spare? does it have the same rims as the rest of it, or just one of those ugly steel wheels?

Thumbs up Welcome to CL!

Good news! After a lot of complaining from those of us who had to buy 5 new tires when upsizing our AWD RX 300's - although we could never rotate the spare to the ground, thanks to that ugly black wheel - Lexus listened. The RX 330 has not only a full sized spare, it is mounted on a matching rim.

RX330 has matching full size spare.

Actually my 2002 RX300 comes with matching alloy spare wheel. I think Lexus got rid of the black wheel in 2001.

Good thing comes to those who wait.
