My friend is fitting 2007 18's to his rx330. I'm buying his 17's and fitting 45 profile tyres. I believe the wheels are a 35 offset. I'm almost 100% there wont be a problem. Please convince me..

 

Yeah, you should be fine. with 45's you'll be as close to stock as you can get which is about a =3% variance which is minimal.

I'm running 50 profile on 17's and its giving me a 0.1% variance.

 

You should be fine, How wide are they tho?

 

I believe their 18x7

It just occured to me that I mis-read the entire question. So you're buying the 17's off him not 18's. I mistaken it because I thought 18's was stock on the RX330???

My car's stock tires are 205/65-15

This is the variance that I got from on: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

Yea they should fit easy

 

Thanks everyone, they are 17x7 I think. I'm looking fwd to how they are gonna look on the car, and dreading how long it is before I decide that I must lower it. Which basically was the reason i bought it in the first place. To leave it well alone. I'll post pics once I get the rims...thanks again.

 

I think you should slap on some tires and lower the thing straight away.

 

the only thing that wont fit easy is the is350 rims.. lol ask choas.....

 

Yea but the look the best of any Lexus rim. You also can't fit the gs430 rims

 

Hey Bombsquad! How did you go with the rims? Have you decided to lower the car yet?

 

wat u mean choas i have them on mine car lol they did have to put a spacer in the back..... but everything was fine...

 

MC Wong, The rims are sitting in the boot of the es..where i left em. I will not be lowering this car.. period! I will lower my LS when I buy it. And may import some floaters from the good people in u.s.

 

I am planning on putting 18" RX rims when I get back. Hopefully everything goes well.

I've never heard of the RX having 17" rims =//

 

We're in Australia, the 2004 Rx330 has 17's for sure. I'll post some pics soon.

 

Looking forward to see your car lowered with 17s Bombsquad
