Default Wheel question

Hi,

I am shopping around for a set of wheels for my 05 RX330, I am just wondering if any of the wheel experts would let me know if the following setup work:

Wheel Diameter (inches) 19x8.0"
PCD Bolt Pattern 5x114.3
Offset 48mm

The offset is too high. You need an offset around 38 or under for an 8" wheel. I'm running 18x8 w/ 38mm offsets and 235/55/18 Michelin Energy MXV4's and it real damn close.

I think offset +35 or lower is better, I have mine in 20 x 8.5 +35 offset. pretty close from the inside too.

The wider you go the lower the offset you will need. Since your wheel is .5" wider than mine it's probrably closer to the strut than mine is.
