Is it possible to go down to 19" wheels in order to put steel rims on for winter? 2024 rx350. thanks.

 

I put 19" winter wheels/tires on my 2023 350 which came with 21". This year's models had either 19" or 21" depending on options. I'm not 100% sure with the 2024 but I think that they are the same as the 2023's.

 

Would you mind sharing the specs for wheels and tires? Thanks.

 

I used to do this all the time before I switched to Nokia all weather tires. Easy-peasy. Places like Tire Rack etc. have size equivalent calculators. BTW, I would only use winter rated alloy rims - the black steel ones are heavy and look like garbage in no time.

 

The car came with 235/50-21's and I got 235/60-19's for the winter tires. The overall diameter of these two sizes is nearly identical so the speedometer reading stays accurate.

I will concur with Eagleboy99 that the Nokian WR's are great all-weather tires but I wanted the extra safety margin of studded tires so I went with the Hakkapeliitta 10's.

 

You can even go 18" to have a bigger sidewall. I had an 18" on my 2025 500h

 

If I lived in Alaska I'd go studded Hakkas too!

 

that's what i run in AK.

nothing else is even close.
