22 x 10 on RX450h
Hi everybody, I just recently purchased a 2017 Lexus RX450h and plan putting 22" wheels on it. Does anybody know the correct offset as well as tire size that is best ? I want to fill out the fenders...but I also want as much tire as I can have on the wheels as the wheels will be the thinner concave 5 star wheels that will be a little more susceptible to wheel damage. Thanks in advance for your help.

LOL, OK nevermind -- I am new to this forum thing and it looks like they merged my "new post" with an existing lengthy post that I was unaware of. I am good to go. Nice to meet you elimmigran !

Hey corradoMR2, help me out please. I have factory mud flaps as well, and was thinking of getting 22s, but can't really tell from this pic if the tires stick in/out from mud flaps too much? The factory tires are exactly the same width as the mud flaps, wondering if 265 is going to look "silly"? Do you mind sharing a pic from straight behind the mud flap? Would be greatly appreciated. Also are you running 10.5 all around? Did I miss this info somewhere? Thanks in advance.
and closes down the gap better.

RX with 22s and 265/45/22 Tires
Here are a cpl pics of my RX450h with 22x 9 Lexani's. I agree about the 265/45/22 tires, thats what I opted for. I also think the black plastic trim above the tires makes that gap look larger which works "against" anybody trying to close that gap. I am thinking about plati-dipping that piece. Plasti Dip has a "pearlizer" that you can spray over the white plasti dip to achieve that Lexus pearl color.

Thank you ! I will prob do a test run on it before I get fully involved/committed. Will prob take those pieces off the car so they can be sprayed well and evenly. It cant look any worse than that textured black surface, right ???
