2015 RX350 AWD 20in wheel upgrade
#16
I’ll test fit one on my 2014 RX when I swap back to summer tires and report back if it fits or not. I don’t think the fronts will because the hub dimensions and brake spacing is the same as my 2008 w/ 3rd gen brakes, the rear might though as it has a different hub & rotor hat size.
I would find it odd if they put the longer studs on for the final year. Usually I find the years to be listed accurately, but I find they can be off for a year. (I.e: listing parts for a 2001-2004 Highlander meanwhile 2004 was the start of the facelift, or saying that a part is for a 2006-2009 RX350 where the 350 wasn’t introduced until ‘07).
Even with the significant changes to the 3rd gen, it’s remarkable how many other parts were shared. I have a few 3rd gen parts on my 2nd gen. Most being a straight swap.
This imprint is on the longer 4th gen RX studs incl the ones I put on my 08 RX. My stock 3rd gen RX studs and the rest of the cars (02 Highlander, 08 RX) had the same shorter studs without this imprint. This is probably the easiest way to distinguish them.

Either way, the 20in RX350 replica wheels fit my 2015 AWD model without any modification.
