I have Realy considered the nija road effects. I am always carefull on the road. I know the type of force of impact n d type, dept n shape of pothole that can affect the tires n wheels. I am kind of considering its effects on the suspension if there is any.

The Rims are beautiful, however your ride height is increased hence you have higher centre of gravity. Do you use AIRS or coilovers? If you use coilovers, I'd advice you purchase sets of coilovers which 1.5 lower than the stock setup. When you do this, you'll discover there might be a rub on the wheel arch. Inconclusion, this mod job isn't meant for an RX330, hope your car isn't an AWD or else you risk damaging the differential and they don't come cheap.

Finally, your OEM stock wheel, hope you didn't give them out, they are verrrry expensive. Trust me you'll hate its price when you wish to purchase a pair, not to talk of the whole 5set.

I still have my factory fit wheels. Ddnt sell or give out. When u say AIRS or coilovers, what do u mean? Are u referring to the shocks?

AIRS is lexus term for AIR Suspension, baloon suspension or airbag suspension as naija folks call it hence, AIRS. Coilovers is spring coil shocks. Which of these do you have?

First off, Nice Rims

Alright I do have some little experience with Choice of Rims and the preferred tires to go along with them

Low profile tires on your RX330,?? /35/22R, although are good to look at, we just don't have the good smooth roads your'll enjoy them on.
1. Wheel well clearance(they look like they fit)
But like the posters above warned a pot hole would definitely dent the rims if driven spiritedly(above 80kph)

2. Eye Candy for thieves and Our Favored Egunje Policemen.

3. Don't lose your wheel lug locks(if you've got one)
This dreaded nightmare happened to me once, and the damage both to the finish of the rim and replacement bolts werent something I'd wish to have a repeat of.

4. Tires can be expensive.especially your current tire profile.

5. Ride Quality may be diminished, your overall tire wall from rim to tire is lower thus u feel more of the road surfaces and the little dings and rough surfaces on it.

My advice...if you must use the rims.and you're prepared to live with a little rub with your current shocks, use a less wider and larger tire to run with your wheels.

Eg 265/45/22R. 10mm tire height increase from your current(you may loose ur "low profile" but then OUR POTHOLES ARE ON ANOTHER LEVEL...."they go bend that rim and itl suprise da shit outta u".

HyDef:
Wow. Nice rims. Does your car classify as an SUV or a crossover? I'm actually a little surprised that that is an '05 model. Nice package in general man.

lomomike:


Why are you surprised its an '05 model?

HyDef:


The design is something I'd expect on maybe an' 09 model or so. Don't really know how to explain it, but it's nice and shapely.

The interior of the car

earthrealm:
Nice rims
U choose aesthetics over practicability.
Cos of the big rims..the meat on ur tires is small...so on rough roads...u would feel every bump.
2ndly the chances of bending ur rim or tearing ur tire is quite high...if u enter a pothole at moderate speed...n 5his is common in naija....

If u still want to go ahead with this setup i wud advice u to also change ur spare tire to this setup ..wud save u stress if u travel a lot n hv a torn tire or bent rim

5hen the next wahala......wud the bigger sparetire fit the default spare tire location?
