What do you guys think of the 22 inch wheels on here???

Looks like a crazy wheel gap. Looks like a lifted truck :P

Bearcat

I think hideous.

Wheel gap like hell but it looks great.

I think "road noise"

And bumpy ride

LordBowral

Looks cheap and tacky and doesn't suit the car

I will 2nd the bumpy ride.

Yeah, they put the wrong size tires on it. Looks horrible and probably rides much worse.

With the proper 22" wheels (not these in the pics), it will look great.

Corrado in the NX forum has 22s on his NX and it looks AWESOME.

I have to think it will look equally great o n RX.

Need to have the right size tires with a bit more meat for the best and proper look.

Of course noise and little less cushy ride, BUT 22s are really what should be on the car for the proper look.

definitely further sportifies the car.

I was thinking about adding some wheels as well. My only hesitation is should you lower it to complete the look and if you lower it will that effect the adaptive suspension.

I like the wheels, not the tires. As others have said the wheel gap looks terrible. I would like to see what it looks like with the correct size tires

Well the problem with the new RX is, the plastic trim above the tires. The wheel gap is going to look ridiculous no matter what you do, but using the wrong size tire (too small) will exacerbate the look. Hopefully @LXSalesman can post some more pictures once they get the new tires mounted.

Thanks. The 22s with 265/35 rubber on the NX is slightly larger than the OEM diamater so on the NX it actually fills the wheel wells better. However, in the case with the RX above, the tires are of the wrong size (More below).




Yeah, change the tires please since they are WAY too SMALL and wrongly sized. Taller tires would look better. OEM diameter on the RX for the 235/55/20s is 767mm while the 255/35/22 rubber you have is only 737mm, off by 30mm or well over an inch! The tires you need to put on are 265/40-series tires on the 22inch rims which will give a diameter of 771 mm. It's also 99.5% within the diameter of OEM which won't mess up the speedo and odometer readings.
