What rim will fit my 2011 RX 350?
Hi there,
I am looking for a set of rims for my RX and I've came down to the following OEM spec:
19" x 7.5
5 - 114 bolt pattern
35mm offset
I've looked through many sites and I wasn't able to find one identical to the OEM rim spec (either its 19" x 8 or the offset is off) (I am a newbie at this sorry).
My tires are P235/55R19 and I have a set of winter tires w/ the dealer right now (I haven't seen them yet but they are there) which i believe is the same as these all-season tires.
Now, I am wondering what kind of tires I can get for my car? Does the offset have to be 35mm? I know bolt pattern must be 5-114... and what about the rim size (19x8)?
Thank you so much for helping me out.

Welcome to CL... This would be better suited in the Wheels and Tires Forum, but I'll go ahead and answer... although the factory wheel is 7.5" wide, it won't cause any issues running an 8" wide wheel, so long as the offset stays correct... Obviously to make use of your existing tires, the 19" diameter must stay the same, and you can't change width more than about an inch, depending - the tire size you are running has a recommended rim width between 6.5 and 8.5"
Offset, you want to stay close to +35, too large of a variance will cause the wheel to stick out from the sides, or be sunken in too far and potentially cause interference.
Hope this helps...
