My dealer out West has told me that they are not in inventory and they can't say when Lexus will stock them. Bummer.

Anybody knows what is acceptable offset for 18'' winter tires for NX 350h? I see that website offers me options from +35 to +42. Does anyone know what is offset on stock rims?

that’s a very good question. doubt the same so I reached out to canadawheels sale support and showed them two different offsets spec found from their website and the RWC site, the canadawheels sales team reviewed it and suggested to stick to the manufacture spec - offset 40 for the winter wheels.

I believe the stock offset is +35, at least that is what it is listed on wheel-size.com. I have a set of superspeed wheels that will be used on my 350h for winter. The spec is 18x8.5 +35 and they don’t seem to stick out much further compare to stock wheels when I tested fit them before mounting the winters.

It depends on how picky you are in terms of how far the wheel tuck inside the wheel well. The +45 with narrower (7.5) wheel will tuck in further compare to the +40 with 8” wheel width.

It is a little confusing.
RWC says their wheels are offset of +40
Canada wheels lists the same wheel as +35
All I want is a wheel that is a least close to stock (offset), but in 18" I do not like it when the wheel gets shoved back into the vehicle. This affects handing and screws with the scrub.
The other problem is finding winter tires. Either they don't have them yet or can't get them. AND they are 40% more than last year. Supply and demand, I might just not get anything.
I never have to go out, and if we get a big storm 99% of my driving is close to home.
I am actively trying to find something that works well and will advise if I find something. I'll take a picture and provide it to everyone, with specs.
One Lexus dealer sells Fast wheels, the other RWC. Both cost more than my monster wheels and huge tires than my 2021 GMC Sierra, go figure.
This year is the hardest by far in finding something that works, and you can actually buy.

Curious if my winter set from current 2015 NX200t will fit a base 350H. Both are 18' wheels and I do have to use different lug nuts on the winters.

The winter set on previous NX will not work. The tire size is the same and the lug nuts to lug bolts changeover will not fit the new NX

As for the wheels, it really depend on what lug nuts you used for the winter set. Since you mentioned you have to use different lug nuts for the winter, I assume they are the Arcon type (most after market wheels). If so they will fit the current gen NX.
I am using a set of aftermarket wheels from my Tesla M3 and they fit the NX. The wheels accept both acorn type lug nuts or lug bolts.

I believe the tire sizes for the last gen is 225/60/18 and the current NX is 235/60/18. The tires will work, but your odometer will be slightly off as your overall diameter is slight smaller. Personally I would get the correct size tires for the 350h.

This is the rim my Lexus is selling that is the correct fit. $289. However the center caps are ordered separately, and your stock ones won't work. RWC comes with center caps and the Lexus ones work.$299
These are made by Fast Wheels model Switch
