Question On Modifying The Rx 350

thanks everyone. I was not expecting BMW handling or cornering, just to improve it. Better steering and handling response and get rid of the boaty feel on the road, I would be happy if it felt like the 08 MDX not even FX35..

I was on the business trip on HK and I saw it. So, I bought it and ship it back to US. I was paying around $350/set at that time and it was Oct 2006.
There is another link to this kit too from Japan. Here is the link;

It looks so much better all the same color as the vehicle.

How much did you pay to have them painted and installed? Do you know of any place you can order them in English for a similar price?$350-$450.00 sounds like a pretty fair price to me.
I want to email them but I can't figure out which is the email... lol

I paid $600.00 for painting to match my RX. According to the body shop, it was tri-stages paint which I have no clue. It has something to do with the glitter inside the paint (Welcome to the world of Lexus).
Anyway, I have found a US website which has lot of these kits. You might want to call them up. Here is the link;

looks like you have about 20mm of space left between the inner edge of wheel and the perch. i did some calculation and with a 9.5in width +12 i would be 5mm closer the to perch. which leaves maybe 15mm of room, but then i have to remember about the tire..hmm
is the edge of your rim flush with the fender or is it in a little?
if you can take more pics or rear and the front i would GREATLY appreciated it.

i wonder is 8.5 F and 9.5 R would work or 9.5 all the way around?? anyone knows??

i forget the rx offset but i think its mid30s. if the offset of the mmr wheels are +35 9.5R. you would need a 20-25mm spacer to clear strut/spring perch. for the front 8.5 or 9.5 you will have enough clearence from strut and it should be flush with fender.

The offset on stock is 35mm. I will tell you I put on 19x8 with a 40mm offset and I needed a 5mm spacer on the rear because it was rubbing on the inside of the tire which are 255x50's. CK6Speed has 20x8.5 with 255x50's and I think his are as wide or big as you can go without modifying it to fit. His looks very good but any wider at all would be to wide. I believe his offset was a +20mm. All offsets mentioned above are all +.
