Default RX450 wheels on an RX300. Is this possible?



Looking to purchase the RX450 20's for my 1st gen RX.
The stock tire size on the 450 wheel is 235/55/20. The 450 wheel is 8"wide.
I know that the max tire size that the 330 18's can go up to without rubbing in the back or front is 245/55/18.
Spacers are not an option. I will have children in my vehicle, and do not trust their lives riding on spacers.
Not too familiar with wheel fitment. Was hoping that somebody could assist me with this. Thanks, guys.

I think this wheel is going to be too wide without spacers. I have the 350 wheels from a 3G and the rears are fine, but the fronts requires a 5mm spacer. I'm going to remove the spacer and smooth out the edge of the caliper for a fit.

I think they will fit without the spacer. The reason being 19" might miss the caliper but tire very close to the front strut. Haven't tried to fit them but have been looking for these myself. If you get them or more information let us know.

Keen to see whether your still keen in this. I have a new full body kit to install and RX330 wheels will let kit down. So time to search either for after market or F Sport wheels. I am massive fan of factory wheels very few aftermarket wheels suit my taste.
