Default RX 330 2005 wheel swap

Hi, Im new here. Im rx owner for 1 month. I live in Warsaw Poland, so we dont have here perfect flat streets . Id like to swap my 18inch wheels to 16 or at least 17 inch. Having smaller rims I would have possibility to apply higher profile of tires to get more comfort. Is such swap possible? Does any one have 17 or 16 inch rims in his rx330?

Welcome to Club Lexus Cemm!
If I remember right, I don't think that 16s will fit. I think there was a member a while back that tried it and they didn't clear the front brake calipers. You may want to search the forum and see if you can find it. I think it titled winter wheels. Of course you could also go to any local tire shop and they should be able to tell you.
