Careful not to have better traction e.g. wider tire in the rear. May not make sense if you have FWD, even with AWD, about 90% of drive comes from front wheels. I think you also mess up VSC by having uneven tractions between front and rear.

if u wanna go 18x9.5 in the rear ..you might need a spacer...... cause i have a 2001 RX300 FWD im going 20x9F with spacer and 20x10R with spacer .... with no spacer the rim gonna be hitting the shocks really bad .. thats what it did to my shock .it left a dent on it everytime i make a turn. but im gonna go back to 8.5 without spacer cause u cant really trust the spacers that **** can break on you anytime on the road.

RX is more of a FWD SUV, if anyone have staggered setup, bigger front tires/rims should be installed up front (if you don't care about traction control). RX is not RWD, not sure what good is to put bigger tires/rims on a non drive axel.
