Hi,

I just picked up a '04 RX330 over the weekend, and I have some Works rim from my previous car sitting in the garage.

Would it fit?

Wheel Spec:
18x9.5 +26 +28 Staggered
5x114.5

Tires Spec:
255/18/40

Thanks in advance for your answers.

im not 100% sure but if its all wheel drive rims al around should be the same

WTF!!!! I'm kinda ashamed you havent already tried lol that would have been the first thing i did after picking it up. The only way to know is a test fit but if you're car is AWD i probably wouldnt run a staggered set up. There was a member on here that ran some staggered rims on his AWD RX but i'm pretty sure i read that he's selling or sold them(don't know if it had anything to do with the AWD system or not though). Even if you google this you'll hear stories of people having to change all 4 tires because they had to replace only one(don't know how much truth there is to this tho) Post pics asap

Only the offset is staggered.

Put them the f$%* on already!!!!! For some reason I was under the impression that the rims were different widths just because normally a staggerred set up is, your set isnt really that different size wise than. I'd call lexus to see what they say but im willing to bet they'll say no.

The rims on my previous car.

Is this how users on ClubLexus communicate? No need to scream and use profanity.

lol Sorry about coming off that way, i was not trying to be rude or offensive in anyway. I was just anxious to see them on the car. Clublexus is a really good group of guys except me but im working on it. What color is your RX and is it AWD?

Reason why I asked is that I was hoping someone here on the board would know for a fact it would or would not fit. To save myself sometime on getting on the rims installed onto my vehicle.

Gimmi a break. Cussing the way he did was obviously humorous.

The good news is you have allot of play in the wheel well. It's hard to say it it will fit 100%. Fronts seem ok though. Might need a spacer if your lowered. You can use a wheel calculator inline and see. If your RX is AWD than be very careful about making sure the circumference of all the wheels are the same and your checking your tire pressure once in a while for the correct amount. If not your gonna have allot of issues, wheel slipping and eventually have to replace your actuator.

With that said, use a wheel calculator.
21x9+26 Fronts
21x10+39 Rear

I needed because of the funky offsets a 5mm spacer in the front and about 12mm in the rear. Also cased some of natural camber and AWD issues.
