Default Hellooo!!!

Sup guys, i'm new to the RX crowd. we just bought an 07 RX 350 AWD flint mica fully loaded minus the DVD. no pix yet, it's fully stock. Our X5 4.4 got totaled by a drunk driver last week. loved the sporty feeling of the X5 but don't missed the reliability.

question: i'm trying to find out if anyone is running 9.5" wide all the way around. not sure if it would even fit. we can't stand the 7" wide of the stock 18". i want the aggressive look of the X5. i'm planning on 19" or 20"

I don't know about 9.5 but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have a problem with 8.5. I have seen some one tested fitted 20X8.5 in the RX. I forgot the offset, but when i found out I'll get back to you.
