Default 4RX with 22" wheels (merged threads)

Does anyone have any pictures of the 2016 RX 350 with 22" wheels?


I am looking to go 21" in the front and 22" in the rear and would like to see the stance if anyone else has done this yet?

Why would you put odd sizes front and rear ? the warranty would be voided and your safety systems like ABS etc probably wouldn't work correctly because the calibration is out , thereby voiding your insurance ...

The wheel gap is unchanged if you put on the correct lower profile tires on the 22" wheel.

One can use this tire size calculator to figure it out:

https://tiresize.com/calculator/

Just click "tire size equivalent" and play with it.

Very interesting! Never seen rims that shape before and the silver finish looks awesome with the custom red paint! What kind of finish is that chrome, brushed aluminum?

brush aluminum I don't like chrome since it will peel in the future. Waiting for a coil over set to be available to reduce the gap a little bit more.

It should only be a matter of time before a company releases something for this car!

Update: 22x10.5 Vossen CVT



I just ordered Vossen CVT Gloss Graphite 22's (22x9) on Falken Ziex STZ05 tires, and they should be here Thursday. Been thinking about switching to Nito tires over the Falkens. Any recommendations?

Pic for reference:
