Actually L sportline does not have a wheel just for SUV, but their model IV does come with the application for the RX300

The one piece model IV comes 18X7.5 +35 5X114.3 in both a silver with polished lip and chrome.
MSRP on chrome is $480.00 each
MSRP on silver is $320.00 each

can run on both 2wd or 4wd. NOTE: 4wd will need a 3mm spacer for the rear to clear suspension.

What's the difference in the AWD and FWD RX that makes clearance a problem in the rear

the 4wd has a different suspension set up then the 2wd. Not a big deal, just Lsportline recomends a 3mm spacer for the rear, they will include for the set anyway, so no worries to the consumer...

The 1 piece does not come 20", the 20" comes three pieces but doesnt come in the correct offset to fit RX300.
sorry

shinestreetwill, do you know if the 18X7.5 +35 with 255/55's will fit the RX all around with no problem rubbing front or rear? Those are some nice looking rims.

for you guys the 18" is the biggest they have because you guys have to run the one piece wheel. Their three piece has a 20" but application for the wheel does not include the RX300....

Waste of time..... If you want to go big, you have to go with a car RWD setup for the RX......... Trust me I know...... Been there, done that....
