Not aftermarket. RX330 18' wheels.



I know I'm going to get the "4x4" and "needs to be lowered" comments so I'm going to show you why I can't.




My house is on a hill and there is only about 1 inch clearance between my catalytic converter and the ground into my garage. The wheels are RX330 wheels on 225/45/18.

You can get air and raise and lower as needed.

yea...4x4 just looks awful. It would be a downgrade... I'd try to stick with stock wheels...but that's just me
