Default GS Fsport 19's on the RX ?

Long story short I couldn't order my RX with the 20's, and it looks extremely blabd with the 18's. I happen to have GS Fsport wheels (19's) from my '14 GS, I think bolt pattern and width will work, offset is a bit higher (I think +38 vs +30).

Anyway habe good photoshop skills to put them on a white RX ? Really curious if I should make use of these wheels, or just fork out money for the 20's once they start becoming available.

Yeah it sucks that Lexus will not let you order a Luxury RX with 20" fsport rims. With BMW and Mercedes you can order your vehicle a la carte. You can build an X5 into a Frankenstein version of an X5 if you wanted but cannot do the same thing on a Lexus.

You really should test fit your GS fsport wheels on your wife RX first to see if it will fit. Even though the bolt pattern is the same other factors come into play like brake clearance and offset and even suspension geometry can affect how the wheel fits or handle on the vehicle.

I upgraded my nebula gray RX 350 base 18" wheels and Bridgestone tires to f sport 20" graphite wheels with Michelin LTX Premier for 1K after selling the 18" set.

If you don't mind me asking how did you sell your old stock ones and did you sell them with the tires?

local online classifieds in a big city always does it. It takes some time and patience but eventully you find a serious buyer willing to call you and meet with you in front of a police station which always have live cameras recording. They appreciate you for suggesting this type of meet up.

Someone may want a more comfortable ride. I noticed a difference in the ride quality between the 18s and 20s. The 18s soaked up irregularities much better. I feel that 18s are better suited to the RX350. I will eventually be looking for a set of 18s that look nicer than the stock wheels.
