5 lug universal is usually 5x114.5 and 5x100.

lexus uses a very common bolt pattern, so a 5 lug universal wheel should fit... just make sure you like the how they fit though, because universal wheels usually ahve pretty weak offsets. it will look like a big car on honda wheels...

I stronly urge you to not buy a universal wheel. Universal ANYTHING is bad. I would go with something that fits it perfectly.

Good point - even quality after market rims require hub centric rings to fully balance them, etc. Stay with specific wheels if you want the best fitment.
