Since you are changing the circumference by about 4.6% you should notice that amount on your speedometer. Also, since the odometer registers miles traveled by the number of rotations of the wheel, you will actually be traveling 4.6% further than the odometer reads. So, when you get to 100,000 miles, you will actually have traveled 104,600 miles. Remember this when you sell it and sign off on the odometer reading!
Circumference = 2*pi*r
For 19" tires, C=119.32 inches
For 20" tires, C=124.8 inches
My goodness, this car looks smokin'!! The mag wheels are gorgeous too. I also have a Smoky Granite Mica RX. Between the wheels and that color, that is hot! LOL! I have the 19-inch chrome wheels on it. And I thought the 19-inch chrome wheels looked great! I wonder how a 19-inch tire with those similar size numbers (265/50) would look on the RX??
By the way, did you get the chrome exhaust tip through the Lexus dealership or somewhere else??
How do you clean these? Looks like many nooks and crannies to wash. The numbers of Torx head screws around the perimeter seem like big dirt collectors. The small/narrow space between spokes also looks hard to clean if amounts of brake dust build up.
