Default Anyone with 2010+ Wheels

Current set of tires on our 2008 are shot. Saw someone selling a set off a 2010 RX350 with great tires, and was wondering if anyone ahs a picture of these wheels and tires on a 2nd gen RX? I realize the discrepancy between tire sizes (Original 235/55/18 vs 235/60/18) but for $250 its kind of hard to pass up on a nearly new set of Goodyear Eagle GTs with 4 good wheels and sensors.

Bought a used set with tires for my 09 and they are fine. I’ll post pics this weekend. Currently have 235/60/18 Bridgestone dueler tires on them. There was a slight rub on front brake caliper piece that I had to grind down slightly but other than that they have been fine. Over 5000 miles on them and no issues. Used stock 17” rims to mount snow tires for first time.

The 235/60/R18 size is not a problem. My 2007 had 235/55/R18 on it when I bought it. When I was driving on the highway, my GPS would report that I was going slower than what my speedometer showed by about 2%. When I needed tires, I did a little research and found out that the 235/60/R18 was about 2% larger, so I got those and now my speedometer matches what the GPS says.

I also run a tire that is one size bigger than stock (235/65r17) with no rub or issues.

Default Pics of 2009 with 2013 18" 235/60/18 wheels and tires


Forgive the dirty car

Portion of caliper on front wheels that had to be shaved to prevent rubbing/grinding

Stock 17" wheels vs 2013 18"

Much appreciated on the pictures. Unfortunately the wheels sold before I could get to them, but great reference for someone looking in the future

Default 4th Gen RX wheels on 2nd Gen RX

I just installed wheels from a 4th Gen Lexus RX on my 2007 Lexus RX350. I had to downsize to a smaller 245/45/20 tire to match my stock diameter. These wheels are a little wider than the stock wheels and there are no rubbing.

Stock 18” wheels

20” wheels from 4th Gen Lexus RX
