My name is Troy and I just picked up a 2016 L/Certified NX 200t F Sport from my friends at Longo Lexus in El Monte, California. Thank you Anthony Nguyen for a painless transaction and Jeff Chang for always taking great care of me!

Some of you may know me, I own Five Axis and we've build a few Lexus Concepts and Show Cars, over the years. I'm just here to share my NX, with you, and make some new friends. I've always liked the NX, F Sport, not the wedge nose version, haha. I figured I'd wait a few years and with the recent L/Certified promos I had to take a second look and stumbled upon this very gently used 2016 with 26K miles on it at Longo Lexus. Keep in mind these guys do a nice job of prepping their cars and this one even had brand new Yokohama rubber on it which, as you'll see, was no benefit for me. Regardless, it's super clean and the interior is immaculate. I am very happy.

As some of you may remember, we used to have a wheel line called FIVE:AD but we ended it several years ago. I kept some of the old 19's and 20's for stuff like this. I originally was going to put 19x9.5 square but after seeing some others with 20's, I knew I had to step up and I had a pallet of staggered 20's made mainly for Z cars, on ice for this occasion. My favorite design has always been the S5:F especially the deep dish of the 19 and 20x10.5. It's crazy the 10.5 +22 fits perfectly right up in there with a stretched tire. I did have to cut some plastic and metal but nothing crazy and I do it on all my slammed rides already!

Anyways, here's what I've done, so far.

My Car: 2016 Lexus NX 200t F Sport (L/Certified)
Color: Silver Lining Metallic
Wheels: FIVE:AD S5:F 20x9.5 +25 F, 20x10.5 +22 R, Gunmetal (Please don't ask, I only have my private stash of FIVE:AD wheels left, not for sale! Sorry!)
Tires: Sumitomo HTR A/S 245/45R20 F, 275/40R20 R
Suspension: RS-R Sports-i Coilover System -45mm F/R

Suspension set up is very nice and has almost 50 clicks between hard and soft settings on the dampers. I have it favoring the firmer side, at the moment.
The ride is a little sportier but still really nice compared to all my slammed cars, or even our stock FJ.
I wanted a fatter tire sidewall, being that this is an SUV so 20" wheels were the logical choice. I chose to stretch both front and rear tires to give it less of a truck tire look and more sportier appearance. Still playing with the offset and might poke the wheels out a little more. Right now it's pretty flush
Overall super happy with the car and dig some of the little design and engineering features. A single jack point in the front and rear is pretty cool for us tuner folks!
Prob going to tune the audio, next, with my buds at Pioneer who make the factory system. Just need more boom boom.
Might inquire into a front brake kit with my friends at Stoptech but that's probably it. Not interested in exhaust or noise makers.
And definitely some anti chrome treatments, either gloss black of brushed matte smoked stainless look.

Here's what it looks like, for now.


Lowered on RS-R Sports-i Coilovers. Factory RS-R Front settings, Rear adjusted +10mm.


Stance is where I want it, small gap between tire and wheel house, more SUV Sport than slammed hatch.


Staggered looks great on this car. Too bad mines not AWD. :-(


Offset in front could probably use about +5mm and rear is probably okay, for now. Never satisfied.


NOS 20" FIVE:AD S5:F Wheels. Sorry, no more wheels for sale!


Test fit. 20x9.5 +25 F, 20x10.5 +22 R


Love the dish of the 10.5 with the mild stretch of the 275/40 Sumitomo tire sidewall. Purposely trying to avoid the typical boxy or baloony SUV/Truck tire profile.

Wheels:
AMR Dark Stainless 20X8.5 et+30mm

Tires:
Yokohmama Parada Spec X 245/50/20
I know it's 3.5% bigger than oem but tire rack had a sick deal on the for $131 each so I took a gamble.

Suspension :
RSR down Springs lowering the car about 1.5 in. No rubbing.

if so any issues?
Thx in advance

I came across these rims that someone is selling online.

20'' Black ford explorer rims. 5x114.3 wrapped in bf goodrich tires 255/45/20
I did some research and i believe the offest is 44mm and maybe a Center bore: 63.3

Well this work on the NX200t?

you can get wheel spacers to make the wheels come out a bit more, the hub size is 60.1 so you can try finding some 60.1-63.3 hub rings

Also what about lug nuts/bots? is there enough threads to use stock lugs when using a spacer?
