Collection: Lexus NX SUV OEM Rims

The Lexus NX is the compact luxury crossover that sits between the smaller UX and the midsize RX in Lexus's SUV lineup, and it has been one of the brand's best-selling models since it launched for the 2015 model year. Factory wheel sizes on the NX vary mainly by generation and trim, since the bolt pattern and center bore have stayed consistent across both generations while wheel width, offset, and tire size changed when the NX was redesigned for 2022. This guide covers the documented bolt pattern, center bore, and rim dimensions for both NX generations, along with how the factory wheel lineup changed by trim and model year.

Quick Specs at a Glance

What Size Wheels Does the Lexus NX Have?

It depends on generation and trim. The first-generation NX (AZ10, 2015 through 2021) came standard with a 17x7 wheel and a 225/65R17 tire across the NX200t, NX300, and NX300h. An 18x7.5 wheel was available as an upgrade, shown in factory part records in two distinct versions: a double-spoke design at ET35 with a 225/60R18 tire, and a separate F Sport style 10-spoke wheel at ET39 with a 235/55R18 tire on F Sport-equipped models. Available tire-size documentation shows the same factory wheel and tire sizing across FWD and AWD versions within the documented NX configurations, and the hybrid NX300h used the same wheel and tire sizes as the gas NX200t and NX300.

The second-generation NX (AZ20, 2022 to present) moved to an 18x7.5 base wheel with a 235/60R18 tire across the NX250, NX350, NX350h, and NX450h+. A 20x7.5 wheel with a 235/50R20 tire is available on F Sport and upper trims. As with the first generation, tire size documentation shows the same wheel sizing applies across gas and hybrid NX models within a given trim, so the drivetrain and powertrain by themselves do not change the factory wheel size.

What Is the Bolt Pattern on the Lexus NX?

The documented Lexus NX uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern across both generations, from the first-generation AZ10 through the second-generation AZ20. The 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 60.1mm center bore are shared across both generations, but that alone does not establish complete wheel interchangeability. Wheel width, offset, tire sizing, and other generation-specific fitment characteristics must also be considered.

Lexus NX Center Bore and Offset

Center bore is documented at 60.1mm on both the AZ10 and AZ20 generations. Offset varies by generation and wheel. On the AZ10, the base 17x7 wheel and the standard 18x7.5 wheel are both confirmed at ET35, while the separate F Sport style 18x7.5 wheel is confirmed at ET39, a detail worth noting since mixing up the two 18x7.5 wheels by offset alone can cause fitment issues. On the AZ20, both the base 18x7.5 wheel and the larger 20x7.5 wheel are confirmed at ET35. Offset was not independently verified for every trim and finish combination, so those figures are left out here rather than estimated.

Lexus NX Wheel Sizes by Generation

First Generation (AZ10, 2015 to 2021)

The first-generation NX covers the NX200t (2015 to 2017), the NX300 (2018 to 2021), and the NX300h hybrid (2015 to 2021), including F Sport trims, across a single generation that received a mid-cycle facelift for 2017. Factory wheel documentation groups these model years together under one consistent set of bolt pattern, center bore, and wheel dimensions.

Bolt pattern: 5x114.3. Center bore: 60.1mm. Lug nut torque: 76 lb-ft (103 Nm), confirmed in factory service documentation for this generation.

Second Generation (AZ20, 2022 to present)

The second-generation NX covers the NX250, NX350, NX350h, and NX450h+ plug-in hybrid, including F Sport trims, on a fully redesigned platform introduced for the 2022 model year.

Bolt pattern: 5x114.3. Center bore: 60.1mm. Lug nut torque: 103 lb-ft (140 Nm), a higher spec than the first-generation NX.

Do Lexus NX Wheels Interchange Between Generations?

Lexus NX factory wheels vary by generation, model year, trim, and configuration. A shared bolt pattern and center bore alone do not establish complete direct-fit interchangeability. The 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 60.1mm center bore are shared across both generations, but that alone does not establish complete wheel interchangeability. Wheel width, offset, tire sizing, and other generation-specific fitment characteristics must also be considered. Within the first generation, the two 18x7.5 wheel options carry different offsets (ET35 versus ET39), so even same-diameter AZ10 wheels are not automatically interchangeable with each other without confirming which version is which. Available tire-size documentation shows the same factory wheel and tire sizing across FWD and AWD versions within the documented NX configurations, and gas and hybrid NX models within the same documented trim level do not appear to differ in wheel sizing, but trim level and generation remain the two factors that matter most.

About the Lexus NX

The Lexus NX is a compact luxury crossover SUV built for buyers who want Lexus styling, available all-wheel drive, and a hybrid powertrain option in a footprint smaller than the RX. According to Lexus, the NX name stands for Nimble Crossover, and the model was introduced in late 2014 for the 2015 model year to give the brand an entry below the RX in its growing SUV lineup.

The first-generation NX (AZ10) launched with the turbocharged NX200t and the hybrid NX300h, later renaming the turbo model to NX300 for 2018. A 2017 facelift updated the styling and equipment without changing the core wheel specifications. The second-generation NX (AZ20) arrived for 2022 with a full redesign, adding the NX250, NX350, NX350h, and the plug-in hybrid NX450h+, along with a notably higher factory lug nut torque specification than the first generation used.

Wheel sizing grew modestly between the two generations, from a 17-inch base wheel on the earliest NX200t to an 18-inch base wheel on the 2022-and-newer NX250 and NX350, with a 20-inch wheel now available where the first generation topped out at 18 inches.

Why Choose Genuine OEM Wheels?

• Factory fit and specifications. Genuine OEM wheels are designed around the NX's factory bolt pattern, offset, and hub bore for the specific generation and trim.
• Correct offset for the wheel style. The first generation used two different offsets across its 18-inch wheels, and a genuine OEM wheel avoids that mix-up entirely.
• Original styling and factory appearance. A stock-style wheel keeps the NX looking factory-correct, which matters if you plan to sell later.

OEM vs. Replica & Aftermarket Wheels

Some drivers choose replica wheels for their similar appearance or price. If your goal is to replace a damaged factory wheel, a genuine OEM wheel offers the best path to the correct fit, finish, and overall appearance, without the extra research replica shopping usually requires. We offer genuine OEM at replica price levels, often less. Here's how the two options typically compare:

How the Lexus NX Compares

Shoppers cross-shopping the NX typically also look at the Acura RDX, BMW X1, Audi Q3, and Mercedes-Benz GLA, all established competitors in the compact luxury crossover segment. The NX has its own model-specific bolt pattern, center bore, and offset specifications, so competitor wheels should not be assumed to be direct-fit replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size wheels does the Lexus NX have?
It depends on generation and trim. The first-generation NX used a 17x7 base wheel with an 18x7.5 upgrade wheel, available in a standard version and a separate F Sport style with a different offset. The second-generation NX uses an 18x7.5 base wheel with a 20x7.5 wheel available on F Sport and upper trims.

What is the bolt pattern on the Lexus NX?
The documented Lexus NX uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern across both the first-generation AZ10 and second-generation AZ20 generations.

What is the center bore of the Lexus NX?
The NX uses a 60.1mm center bore across both documented generations.

What offset do Lexus NX wheels use?
Offset varies by generation and wheel. Verified examples include ET35 on the AZ10 base 17x7 and standard 18x7.5 wheels, ET39 on the AZ10 F Sport style 18x7.5 wheel, and ET35 on both the AZ20 base 18x7.5 wheel and the AZ20 20x7.5 wheel.

Do Lexus NX wheels interchange between generations?
The 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 60.1mm center bore are shared across both NX generations, but that alone does not establish complete wheel interchangeability. Wheel width, offset, tire sizing, and other generation-specific fitment characteristics must also be considered, so each factory wheel should be considered specific to its generation.

Do Lexus NX FWD and AWD wheels differ?
Available tire size documentation shows the same wheel and tire sizing across FWD and AWD versions of a given NX trim and model year, so drivetrain by itself does not appear to change factory wheel sizing.

Do Lexus NX hybrid and gas models use the same wheels?
Yes, based on available documentation. The NX300h shared its wheel and tire sizes with the gas NX200t and NX300 in the first generation, and the NX350h and NX450h+ share their wheel and tire sizes with the gas NX250 and NX350 in the second generation, within the same trim level.

What is the largest factory wheel size on the Lexus NX?
The largest documented factory rim dimension is the second-generation NX's 20x7.5 wheel, available on F Sport and upper trims with a 235/50R20 tire.

Are OEM Lexus NX wheels better than replicas?
A genuine OEM wheel is designed around the NX's factory fitment for its specific generation and trim, including the correct offset for that particular wheel style, while keeping the vehicle's original appearance.

Final Thoughts

The Lexus NX's wheel fitment is straightforward once you know which generation you're working with. Both generations share a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and a 60.1mm center bore, but wheel width, offset, and tire sizing all changed with the 2022 redesign, and even within the first generation the two 18-inch wheel options use different offsets. Genuine OEM wheels remain the simplest way to get factory-correct fit and styling for your specific Lexus NX, whether replacing a curbed rim or shopping for a full set.
