So, would you advise getting the 19 Touring Wheels on the SWB without the larger brakes? Do you need the upgraded brakes from Lexus for the wheels? Can you order the big brakes and 19 inch wheels from Lexus and they will install?

Thanks

so you are saying it's not a matter of fitting, but more of a safety issue huh?

Seems like someone always has a different answer to this question. I have not heard of this from our technical field specialist. I dont have a scale but the 19"s feel lighter than the 18"s with tires mounted.

well, imho it's more about whether it physically fits or not (which is pretty much proven already). brakes, that's a different issues, and i think normal driving should be ok
