Default Is Rims On Rx

Just wondering if there would be an issue with putting these rims with winter tires(bolt pattern 5x114.3) (tire size 205/55/R16) from an IS on my rx300? Any help greatly appreciated!

Bolt pattern is pretty much the same on all Lexus vehicles but offset and brake clearance might be issues. Which wheels are you talking about - 17" or 18" staggered? The latter are not recommended on an AWD vehicle because of rolling diameter differences between the front and back.

That looks like a stock Rx300 wheel to me. The IS rims have flatter and more defined ridges. I think IS rims have a different offset so it may have brake clearance issues.

search the forums. I remember someone here got IS rims on an RX with clearance. I remember he took side view shots.
