Winter tire options

What size are the Michelin X-Ice tires? They should have a very similar diameter/circumference to the OEM all seasons you got. You would need rims with similar offset and TPMS sensors. Frankly while some people use steel rims, I would go with winter alloy rims. DAL makes some. Try 1010Tire and PMC Tire as they are in Canada.

I have not been able to find any lug bolts with flat washers. I also asked few Lexus dealers and they all said they do not have any conversion lug bolts to use the old Lexus wheels on new Lexus vehicles
If someone finds them please post the info.
I believe TPMS in 2023+ RX is different that prior years.
On the positive side I was able to use the Center caps off the old RX on new RX winter wheels.

I put way too much effort to try and find that M14 bolt with a flat seat. No go. I sold my previous setup from my 3RX 450h to a friend and just bought new from PMCtire.com. I am awaiting shipment now. It is coming with conical seat and bolts and will be my dedicated winter setup, and the default spherical will stay as my summer setup.

Live & learn, I only have 4,000 km on my winter setup. I'll keep the x-ice 18" tires, they work well for Canadian winters, sell and replace the alloy rims and TPMS. Thanks for all the replies.

The only thing to keep in mind is if you have 500H or 350 F sport, you have those massive 6 piston brakes. Which only fit the larger rims due to the calipers size. Smaller rims will not clear the caliper.

The dealer told me 19" for my RX350h as the minimum, I am not sure though.

I don't mean the tire revolutions, I mean does an 18" wheel fit on this car? The brakes might be a bit bigger than the 2022 RX.

I put my on yesterday. 18 inch rims have plenty of clearance on my 350h. Tires i bought were Continental - VikingContact 7 - 235/65R18, therefore no change to the speedometer.
