GSF wheels
anyone know if the GS350F wheels will fit on the NX, they look the same just in 19inches. I found a local deal that can't refuse but just want to be sure they will fit.

They would look great on the NX and YES, they will fit. HOWEVER, only four of the FRONT wheels will. Do not get the staggered set of these wheels which is for the RWD GS F Sport since the rear wheels are wider and won't fit. If the set is from a GS F Sport AWD, then you're good since they are all the same as the "front" wheels below.
FYI on specs:
NX wheels (all four the same): (5x114.3) 18x7.5 +35 CB(60.1)
GS F Sport FRONT: (5x114.3) 19x8 +45 CB(60.1)
GS F Sport REAR: (5x114.3) 19x9 +60 CB(60.1) This wider wheel with the higher offset risks rubbing on the inside rear suspension parts unless you want to get spacers.
As for tires, the right sized tire would be 245/50/19 or the next best size is 255/50/19.
If you get them, post pics. Happy shopping!

thanks a lot for the valuable info, can you tell by looking at the rims if they are staggered? they appear to be the same to me don't know ? they already come with tires 235/40/19 only 10k miles.

That set is the right one you need since the GS' tires sized at 235/40/19 are mounted on the 8 in wide rims. This is likely from an AWD GS F Sport.
But... the tire diameter is way too small by 9.2%. An acceptable margin is within 3% (greater or smaller).

They look pretty nice and I haven't bought new wheels yet so I might consider these. I can't see these tires on the Lexus.ca site when I build a GS. Would I be able to buy them from the dealer?

You can get any of them at the dealer but expect to pay around $500 cdn each + the tires, well over 3K total.
If you want to stick to OEM Lexus wheels, consider also the last gen RX F Sport's wheels which are similar and would work though since the rim is a little narrower at 7.5 in wide, I'd stick to the 245/50/19 rubber or for a slightly higher profile tire but within diameter tolerances, you can get 235/55/19 rubber like the RX's.

My Rays Gram Lights 57FXX came in a few weeks ago but I was too busy to pick them up. Will pair them up with Continental DWS 06 in the spring. I got a pretty good price considering the US to CAD exchange rate :/....
Wheel specs: 20x9 +38 Face 1 (Didn't want to go too aggressive as this is my parent's car)
Got them glass coated to resist road filth and the minimal brake dust.
Thanks to Sam @ Nextmod for the hookup.

Thanks! So I ended up getting a set of H&R 25mm DRM spacers and put them in. I was surprised how good it actually looks. Puts the stock wheel/tires right out to the funder for a meaner stance. Hit some pretty big dips and no rubbing. Still rides smooth and no issues to report so far. This should hold me over until I get some better wheels.
