Hey everyone,

Was thinking of getting new set of rims for my RX (like the pic). I'm thinking it would look nice with 20's. Just want to get some feed back on what you guys think? What size you think looks best. 18's, 20's, 20+'s?

I researched wheel size, offset, tire size, etc for several months by reviewing this and other sites and am very happy with the following:

Wheels: lexani R6. 20x8.5, offset +25
Tires: 255/45/20
Eibach pro kit

Rides well, handling is much better and of course, looks much better

Hi Chuckbass, how does the ride of the pro kit feel?. I chose the h&r because it was lower than the pro kit but the ride is tight and bumpy.

The pro kit, combined with larger wheels/tires, it rides better than I thought it would. It's a little bumpier vs stock setup, but it was worth it for the better handling.

I'm also happy with the drop, but the extra weight of the RX400h had a lot to do with it!

Do you have any pics? Would help a lot thanks

I would go for 19 personally....

Here's a photo with new wheels and Eibach Pro kit. I apologize for the grainy appearance. I was messing with a photo app on my iPhone!

In case you want to see what the wheels/tires looked like before the Pro Kit, here's a photo. Wheel gap was too much!

I prefer 19's.

Thanks for the pics @chuckbass, much appreciated, you're right the pro kit does make a huge difference. Guess I have to think about lowering the Rx also if I get rims.

Vinny18

Chickbass how much did you pay for the eibach pro kit installed?

chuckbass

Hey Vinny18:
My brother in law's buddy did it for me, along some other mods, so I don't know how much was just for the pro kit installation.

I would imagine it being at least $300 to have it installed, but that's just a guess

Cool, thanks for the info, ill check with the shop, ill post pics once I have my set up

I just purchased a 2007 RX 350 with 20" wheels. The wheels are peeling and one is missing the center cap. I'm thinking of replacing with the standard 18 wheels and tires but looking at tire places, there are multiple widths and sidewall heights plus now I see there are bolt pattern measurements and spacing that affects rotation. Can I simply replace the 20s with 18s and what is recommended sizes? Looks like you guys have knowledge on this and i'm hoping you can help me
