Hi, after a few years away from the brand I'm about to jump back with the purchase a rx450h
The only thing putting me off is the stance of the car. Over here in England there is not much choice when it comes to upgrading wheels for the rx so I'm looking at making it look slightly more aggressive with a set of spacers on stock 19" wheels. Has anyone got pictures of these that they can post on this thread? - I did search for this but the pictures look like they've been took down.
Thanks!

 

This thread has photos of 2 cars with installed spacers. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...n-f-sport.html

The first has stock wheels and the second is my post.

I have the H&R Trak Plus 20mm spacers and think they were a great addition. They improved the stance, handling etc. I have 19 inch wheels that are 8 inches wide and 255/50/19 Goodyear Eagle Asymmetrical All Season Tires which also helped improve the steering feel as it is more precise than before these changes.

 

How do you plan to address the decreased camber (more negative) that adding the additional leverage on the spindles by virtue of the spacer(s) will contribute (to the inner tire edge wear)?

 

I got the vehicle aligned when I had the new tires and wheels installed. All was within spec afterward.
I had been driving on the spacers for 10,000 miles on the old wheels and tires and never noticed any increased inner edge wear. My tire wear was uniform across the tread.

 

Thanks folks, that's exactly what I was looking for.
Was the wheel alignment needed afterwards or did you do this ensure everything was correct?
Thanks

 

Also what is the centre core needed for these? Thanks again.

 

I always get my vehicles aligned when I buy new tires. Regarding the spacers:

HUBCENTRIC H&R German made spacers, 60.1mm bore (which applies to most Toyota/Lexus vehicles)

They are part no. 4065600 for the 20mm DRM spacers See their web page http://www.trakplus.com/

Did you see this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...l-spacers.html

 

Yes, that's the thread that I've viewed but for some reason the pictures are not displaying. I'll check out the h&r link now. Hopefully get some of these on the car soon after picking it up.

 

When you install them put some anti-seize on the back of the spacer so they do not stick to the hub and they will be easier to remove, if they ever are removed.
