Angry 2009 rims on 2011?

Without going into a long spiel , can somebody tell me if 2009 OE Rx350 rims would fit on 2011 Rx350? i went on the web and it tells me that they are the same bolt pattern-- 5X114.3

I was in a rush this past weekend and i had trouble getting them on --from the '09 to the '11. Without pulling off rims ,again, i was hoping someone could advise. Thank you.

What if they are not? 2009 is 2nd gen . 2011 is 3rd gen.

I use the 18" OE from my 2004 2nd gen for the all seasons on my 2011. I brought one rim to the dealer for a dry fit as, I think, a brake mechanism is different in 3rd gen and can contact the rim but there was enough clearance.

Thumbs up Thanks guys!

i guess i must have been in a rush when i was trying to put them on.
ONE MORE THING: On my '11 I presently have 19' Michelin lattitudes. Do you think i could go all the way to 17" michelin X Ice on OE rims for the winter?

Thanks again.
