That would be your tire size. For wheels you need to check the wheel width, the bolt pattern and the offset vs. what the vehicle's specs. Sorry I don't have this info, but your dealer might be able to help.

You could also try posting this question in the Wheels and Tires Forum. You'll get an answer pretty quickly.

I think the bolt pattern will be fine, it is the CENTER BORE you need to be worried about, and the offset.

Default Good question...

I can't answer this question definitively. I would not recommend doing this unless you are sure that the load capacity of the wheel is sufficient for the RX330. The bolt pattern and offset are very similar. There are other factors to consider when fitting a wheel. My best answer is that it "probably" will fit on the RX330. You may want to contact the seller or manufacturer of the wheel to get a definitive answer.

I just wonder if anyone would have a clue about it. I ask the dealer and they said that it wouldn't work becuase the gs is a rwd drive and the rx330 is an rwd or fwd...so I guess answers my question.

Well, it depends on the width, but most importantly the offset. The reason why FWD/AWD rims don't normally fit RWD cars is because of the higher offsets usually needed for FWD/AWD. You may need to run spacers/longer wheel studs to run higher offset FWD/AWD rims on a RWD car.
