Swapped out OEM 18's for OEM 20's. Sitting on BFGoodrich g-Force Sport A/S 245/45/20. Wanted to keep an OEM look and couldn't find an aftermarket set that really appealed to me.
Goodness this looks very nice. What kind of OEM rims are these?
anyone know what wheel brand are on the will i am custom nx?
Late with a reply... Just logged back on as my wife is thinking of upgrade her CT F Sport to the NX F Sport (or and RDX) and naturally I was drawn to this thread. These are the BBS SV Wheels. Below is a lighter picture of them on my X5M for reference (shameless plug)

Sweet. Always wondered which wheels those were. Thanks for posting. And good luck with the CUV shopping.
Thanks! Are these a direct swap? As in, take my nx wheels off and put these rx on and I'm done??? Any idea where I can find these?
You're welcome. Yes for the rims, but not the tires. You will need to also purchase smaller overall diameter tires in the size 255/45/20 or 245/45/20 . You can go straight to Lexus but tire and rims will hit you back 3K or perhaps the person who bought them for his NX can share.
I know nothing about offsets and all that jazz. But what I do know is that I want 22 inch rims on my nx. What offset wheels would keep the OEM feel? Thanks guys.

OEM "feel" is out of the window on a 22" wheel. The rims are going to be 4" larger than stock and ride a lot more harsh. On top of that you're going to definitely want to lower if you aren't already when adding that kind of dimension.
I would go with a different offset if you want a better look. The OEM offset is going to keep that gap between the wheel and the fender.

So if I were to keep it in the 20" range, how would that go?
I don't know the stock ET on the NX but you could run a 10-15mm spacer to get the wheels flush with the fenders. There is info on here about the exact size spacer. I think 20"s wheels is a good look on the NX, especially if you're staying stock ride height. 22 will go good too, lowered... but you're defiantly compromising ride quality.

You can go with +35 to +45mm on an 8 to 9" wide 20" rim for an oem look. If you want more poke, a lower offset like +25 to 35mm. If you're unsure, post the specs of the wheel you like for our feedback.

This would be for 20" if the 22" would not be recommended by yall.
The 22s are 9" wide +40. No problem they will fit and be nearly flush with the fenders like mine which are the same specs as your 22s except mine poke a tiny 2mm more out (+38):
Same for the 20 at 8.5" wide +38mm. These will fit too and be about a quarter inch more tucked in than the 22s.
Either are good, pick the one that suits your tastes/budget. Happy shopping!
