I found both clips in place so I think I will stop worrying about it. Here are the positions of the clips in case anyone needs to find them. One behind the engine block as me140 has shown, on the drivers side, and the other next to the catalytic converter. Thanks for all the help.

Ok, found that bracket and it’s still intact. i can’t see the one on the passenger side but will check tomorrow. Part numbers are 82715-47390 and 80 Thanks for looking and for the photo.

Very similar. I will check it out. Thanks

Thanks, me140, that would be greatly appreciated. If you can get a photo if you find it I would be grateful.

Thanks for the replies I think the headlight bulbs are a bayonet type fitting and this clip would be too large. Yes, I wouldn’t have liked that through the new Cross Climates !

Looks like I used the wrong tyre size in my previous post. The originals were 215/45 R17 not 225 so here’s the new calculations..

The car has only done 1600 miles and clean underneath. It looks a bit tacky to be from a Lexus so maybe nothing to do with the car. I will get the dealer to have a look at the next service.

Hi, Does anyone recognize the part in the attached photo, which I found under our CT200h on the garage floor. It would have dropped from under the front seat area. I have checked a couple of part diagrams online without success. Thanks

Attached screenshots of 17” and 16” wheel spec comparison. The new 16” wheels are now fitted. Before I had them swapped I took some decibel readings from the centre of the cabin, at the centre of the back seat. The app I used was SPLnFFT in the Apple Store. I then took the same readings with the new tyres over the same dry roads and I will post the results here later today but first signs show the decibel reading at above 70db with the 17” wheels and 65db with the 16” on average. Watch this space.

Thanks for the info. I have some good quality underlay so will check the acoustic figure, and maybe double it up with rubber side together.

Thanks for the responses. Yes, I went for the Crossclimates as I read that Yokohama’s are a hard ride. The low profile Yokohama’s on the car are certainly harsh and noisy. does anyone know what wheels with part number 4261176140 look like. I can’t find anything on google. Has anyone carried out any simple sound proofing in the rear of a CT? Other than carrying a duvet in the boot.

OK, Lexus are doing it so hopefully they know what they are doing.

They are being moved from the original wheels to the new ones. The original wheels are almost new. Standard rubber valves will be fitted to the ‘old’ wheels and will be sold

I have 2 quotes from Lexus for 4 16x6j wheels and 205/55/R16 tyres. First is for 4 x 16” alloys part number 4261176140 and Yokohama E70J tyres 205/55/R15. Price £1645 Second is for 4 x 16” alloys part number 4261176140 and Michelin CrossClimate tyres 205/55/R15. Price £1750 Wheels are £250.31 + VAT at £50 so £300.31 each Yokohamas are £58.20 + VAT at £11.64 so £69.84 michelins are £80.30 + VAT at £16 so £96.30 Lexus do price matching on locally supplied tyres so the tyre price can be reduced

Hi, My wife has just bought a CT200h Luxury ex demonstrator. I am finding the ride harsh and uncomfortable for a luxury car so I am looking at changing the wheels which are currently 17” with low profile tyres (45). I see that there are 15” and 16” options with higher profile tyres, which are more comfortable. I also read this in a CT200h description... Official combined cycle fuel consumption figures were improved: 78.5mpg for the S model with 15-inch wheels; 74.3 mpg for versions fitted with 16-inch wheels; and 68.9mpg for those on 17-inch wheels. That’s quite a difference in claimed fuel consumption, which is another benefit. Obviously nothing like the real world though. Has anyone any advice on where to buy Lexus wheels and the price? Does anyone want to swap our wheels for new or nearly new smalller wheels. Ours have 1800 miles on them currently. Thanks
