The inside of the wheels should have the wheel dimensions cast into the alloy. You know the tyres sizes. Plug the information into this website http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp and it should make the calculations for you.

Just plug the different wheel/tyre sizes in here http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp and it should give you some idea

Yes, I have the same on my RX400H. Will try with a toothbrush to see if I can get rid of it

Unless it is a warranty job don't bother going to a main dealer to get the rear callipers freed up----they will try to sell you a couple of new rear campers at a not inconsiderable cost. A good local independent should be able to remove the slide pins, clean up, grease and re-fit for a fraction of the cost quoted by a dealer. A quick search of this forum for "seized rear callipers" should give you loads of information.

This seems to be the favoured OBD charger http://shop.theaa.com/store/home/car-battery-solar-charger Much easier than connecting a traditional charger directly to the battery

Absolutely no problems in eight years and 70,000 miles other than seized slide pins on the rear brake calipers. Easily and cheaply fixed by a local independent Lexus specialist who removed calipers and slide pins, cleaned up, regreased and new rubber boots fitted.. Don't go to a Lexus main dealer if you have this problem as they will try to sell you complete new caliper assemblies at around £350.00 each

2016 can't be the correct registration date as Lexus stopped making the Rx400h in 2009

Beware----the link that you gave shows the rim size as R17-------my 2008 RX400h is fitted with R18 rims.and if you look on the Lexus UK web site at past brochures that also shows the car as being fitted with R18 rims. I think that the information shown on your link related to US spec vehicles

Plug the relevant wheel details into this "wheel tyre size calculator" http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp ad all will be revealed. This won't calculate if the bolt pattern will be the same but you seem to have that sorted anyway.

Save you fingers by investing £1.43 in a set of trim removal tools http://www.amazon.co.uk/TOOGOO-BB-FR-2-Panel-Audio-Removal/dp/B009YDZ3TM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1456141269&sr=8-4&keywords=vehicle+trim+removal+tool They seem to get pretty good reviews on Amazon---no connection etc--just though that they might be of use

Whilst it may be possible it would almost certainly be illegal to have a live view of the dash cam on your navigation screen whilst you are driving. I have a dash cam with an in built screen and it automatically goes to a compass and speed display after a minute or two to comply with the law.

I too had a noisy whining sound from the front of the car----solved it by getting the mother in law to sit in the back.

Search Ebay for "breaking Lexus RX"----you will find loads of adverts. Should be a lot cheaper than buying new.

If you want to know if the wheel/tyre size is compatible try using this site http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp

There is quite a good video on YouTube on how to replace your rear pads on a 400h and it covers greasing and fitting the slide pins, It makes the pint that the two slide pins are not the same and must be fitted into the correct holes. Worth a watch

Plug the dimensions into this wheel and tyre size calculator http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp

There's a great wheel/tyre size calculator here http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp It should give you some idea as to whether or not your 22 inchers will fit

Nest thing you need to find is the remote control for the DVD player

Are you sure that the brakes aren't binding slightly. My own RX400h had a similar problem and it was diagnosed as sticking sliding pins on the rear brake caliper----This would also explain why the hub was warm

It may help you to read an old post of mine relating to Winter Tyres: Currently own a 2008 RX400H as well as a BMW 335D Automatic Coupe. The BMW is absolutely useless in the snow. Fitted with ultra low profile 19 inch run flats and lots of electronics to stop the wheels spinning it's a car to leave parked up until the weather gets better. Decided about a month ago to investigate winter tyres for the Lexus instead. The stock tyres are Bridgestone Potenza summer tyres, great in the good weather, but they didn't look as if they would be that good in the snow. As I started to investigate I realised that there is a very, very limited choice of winter tyres available in the OEM size of 235 55 18. Also saw that in the USA some RX400h's come with 17 inch rims as standard so I started looking for a secondhand set of 17 rims. These are fitted to the RX 3XX series in the UK and as these cars have been around for a lot longer than the RX400h there is a much better chance of picking up a set of secondhand rims from a breakers. After a few weeks of looking managed to find a set of Lexus 17 alloy rims, complete with centre caps for £150 from a breakers yard in Milton Keynes. One wheel had some scuff marks on the rim---but what the hell, they were only going to be on the car in the bad weather. Then discovered this really useful wheel and tyre size comparator here http://www.rimsntires.com/rt_specs.jsp Comparisons were: OEM 235 55 18, Rim width 7 inches, offset 35mm Proposed new size was going to be 225 65 17, Rim width 6.5 inches, offset 30mm The comparator told me that there would be plenty of clearence and that the difference in diameter would alter the speedometer reading by 1.3% and that at 60mph my speedometer would be reading 60.8mph. I think that I can live with that. Next thing was to source the tyres. Costco had a special offer on---buy four tyres and get another 20% off what are already very competitive prices, although you are restricted to buying Michelin tyres. After a bit more research I settled on the Michelin Latitude Alpin. They had to be ordered in, but arrived within four days. With the discount the tyres worked out to around £146.00 each. Had them fitted to the bare rims and waited for the weather to get worse. Looking at the forecast I decided to fit them on Wednesday of last week----what a transformation. I have been out and about in around 18 inches of snow and the car really drives as if it is on normal roads. Even up steep hills the rear wheel drive rarely kicks in and the really impressive thing is the ability to brake on ice or snow. Unless you are looking at a panic stop the ABS doesn't even need to operate, the car just comes to a fuss free stop. When I told my friends that I was going to invest in winter tyres I received lots of comments about "waste of money" "we never have weather bad enough to justify them". Those same friends are now ringing me up to see if I can give them a lift or get some shopping in for them. Until you have driven in the snow and ice with a decent set of winter tyres you can have no idea of just how good they are. I cannot reccomend them highly enough.

You may already have a set of carpet mats but why not try to see if you can get the dealer to throw in a set of genuine Lexus rubber mats for the winter?

Have look at my post from December 2010 http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/70302-a-tale-of-winter-tyres/?hl=lydiamight#entry740814

I am sure that the bolt holes are the same so they should fit. Have a look at this website http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp it's a great facilty to compare different tyre and wheel sizes. You wil find the wheel details cast into the inside of the wheels.

I decided on last Friday afternoon to change my wheels for the set fitted with winter tyres. All went well until fitting the last wheel when I managed to shear off the end of the locking wheel nut key leaving parts of it in the grooves in the locking wheel nut. I am now in the situation where all wheels are fitted and correctly torqued up but I had no way of removing the wheels should I be unfortunate enough to get a puncture. A quick trip on Saturday morning to my local dealer---Lexus Sidcup---to explain the situation. Helpful service manager spoke to his parts department and offered me the alternative of ordering a new locking wheel nut key, "should be here by Tuesday or Wednesday" or I could buy a complete set of four new locking wheelnuts together with the key, which they had in stock. I opted for the latter as s*ds law says I would get a puncture before the new key arrived. My RX400h was whisked into the service bay and Lexus Sidcup used their master key to remove the old nuts and kindly fitted the new ones for me. Then came the moment I was dreading----payment. I was extremly pleasantly suprised to be presented with a total bill of £29.86 including 20% VAT, probably less than half what I was expecting. Ten out of ten for Lexus Sidcup for solving my problem so efficiently and so reasonably, they had me over a barrel and quite frankly I would have been prepared to pay almost anything to sort things out.

The instructions work just fine for me on a February 2008 RX400h
