Lexus F Sport oem Full Face forged wheels
19x9
40mm offset
Liquid Silver finish
15mm spacer adder in rear
No spacer in front
Tire rubber bulge pretty much flush with fender both front and rear
Wrapped with 255 50 19 tires
No rubbing full turn
Based on bathroom digital scale: forged wheels = 22lbs.....56lbs with tires (OEM 18x7.5” with 225 60 18 tires were 61lbs)
Stock height
Still retains above 50% tire sidewall to wheel gap ratio....which I’ve read is visually more appealing than having sidewall that is less than wheel gap - which would require lowering to solve and was not an option.
Now has a meaty footprint and looks awesome from the rear.

This looks nice! I have the same color and I'm already lowered. Wonder how these wheels would look on a lowered NX? I have 20" wheels and tires and just do not like them. might have to try these next...
For any of you guys running wheel spacers, any specific brand you are using? Which type, the kind that just bolts on or the kind you have to replace the lugs to use? I am asking because I have set of Ichiba 25mm spacers for the rear of my NX already, but I need a set of 15mm or 20mm for the front. I am removing the 20" wheels I bought and installing the stock wheels until I can sell the 20s and find set of wheels I actually like. The stock wheels will set inboard 19mm from what I have now, so the 25mm spacers will be fine in the back and I can probably get away with 20mm for the front.
Winter tire set up, P225/65R17 Michelin X-Ice/ Fast Wheels Switch 17x7.5 +35, 24.8 lbs each. They are hub centric and works with the factory lug nuts. The 17’s are even more smoother than the 18’s that the car came with and acceleration feels lighter and quicker. Probably due to unsprung weight. Will post better photos soon
Can anyone confirm for me that these wheels will fit with 245/45 20 tires (or if there is a "better" tire size I should consider)? Looking for a good, quiet, comfortable ride with no rubbing. Thanks

The weight at 25.6 pounds sounds great as well. Hoping acceleration and MPG won't suffer much compared with the 18" stock wheels.
Those wheels will work with a 245/45R20 tire, but they are +38 offset so they will sit deeper into the fender than the factory rims. I’m running 20x8.5” +35 and it’s still not fully flush. My setup is 5 pounds lighter per wheel compared to the OEM wheels but the 245’s do slow down acceleration and reduce a bit of MPG but not horribly. In my opinion the look of the 20’s outweighs the cons of slower acceleration and gas mileage.

Thanks for the insight! Do you have a back end pic of your vehicle looking down the side to see how recessed the wheel is? 3mm more offset shouldn't be very noticeable I don't think, so if yours look good and you're happy with them, I should be too.

Here are some photos, 20x8.5 +35 all around with P245/45R20 Pirelli tires.
