Default Custom rims

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to upgrade the summer rims of my rx400h to these ones:

18", 8.0 J, ET 38.0, 5/114,3

With the stock tires size:

235/55

My question is, will these rims fit in, cause they are wider and the offset is a little bit bigger.
These are the rims I wanna buy:

1. https://www.felgenoutlet.de/en/alufe...spension=0.000

or

2. https://www.felgenoutlet.de/de/alufe...spension=0.000

Any ideas?

Your adding more offset in the wrong direction as well as adding a additonal inch..The oem wheel is already a 35mm which is a 7'' ....Go w/ a 8.5'' width on a 18'' wheel w/ a 20mm offset....Your going to find thats alot better fit & yea your 235's will work or you could go w/ a 255x55-18's as I'm running on a set of TSW accents....Adds track width w/o spacers......

I just put a set of 18x8 inch Aftermarket Rims on my 2005 RX 330 AWD 18" Option,
and they fit and work Great, but the Offset was Correct for my R330 using that wheel,
but those wheels were only an Inch wider that the stock wheel (7 inch).
The amount of Offset is Extremely Important to Prevent Tire interference and Tire Rub.
If the Offset is too much or too little, the tire will Rub the Fender Opening or the Inner Fenderwell when turning.
You may want to ask the Seller for Help, but take their advice with a Grain of Salt!!
Good Luck!!

With a stock height rx, you'll have no problem w/ a negative offset, such as a 20mm. You for sure don't want to go more postive for the rear as you'll need clearence for the rear strut.....
