After drooling over CorradoMR2's "Darth NX" I scoured the internet reading until my eyes bled about getting the right wheels for my NX.
I was originally enamored with Will.i.am's custom NX but couldnt seem to figure out which wheels those were and couldnt find any info on them. I stumbled across this forum and fell in love with the Vossen wheels.
I was really nervous upgrading to a 22" wheel. I live in NY so I was really concerned about potholes and damaging the wheels.
More importantly, I was worried about messing with the ride quality. The NX drives so good as is that I didn't want to mess with the comfort too much.
But, after looking at the gallery on Vossen's website (makes the NX look SICK) and flipping through clublexus forums, I couldnt resist anymore.
So I took the plunge.
Corrado's Darth NX that he posted has the Vossen VFS1's on it. I ran with the VFS2 after flipping through the NX gallery on vossenwheels.com.
Many thanks to Corrado. He's really hepful giving this community the right sizes and opinions on wheels and tires.

Fresh out of the box:



These are the rim specs:













Went with the Nexxen Rodian HP 265/35/R22 102V rated
(Once again thanks Corrado)











What a difference!
I freaking LOVE my NX now
Its NOT DROPPED and there are NO RUBBING issues whatsoever.
The Vossens even gave a little height to my NX. Made it taller.
Whats even better is the ride comfort is shockingly amazing. It is a little stiffer but not bad at all. The Nexxen tires are great (and cheap considering theyre 22").
A little bit louder at high speeds on the highway but again, nothing too noticeable.
I'm still a little nervous living in NY with our horrible roads, but I'll update this thread in due time and keep you guys posted.

Those nexen tires r the best bang for your buck.

corradoMR2

Great to see this forum is contributing and you went with the Vossens, even with the Nexens!

Exactly as you said - tires are a touch stiffer and noisier but more than tolerable for the superb bang for the buck.

Your ride looks great. Post more pics - always welcome!

yeah... now that looks the goods!

New member here. I am also from NYS.

any updates on wether you still like the 22s or it was a bad idea.
I am undecided wether I want 20 or 22s. Leaning more towards vrs2 20 inch as I have never upgraded rims.
recently fell in love with vossen vfs2.

would you recommend 22 vfs2 still for 2017 NX. Planning to use this for summer only. In winter different tires and rims.

Its been about 7 months since I got my 22's and it seeing them everyday, it was not and never will be a bad idea. lol
Actually it was Corrado who helped me out too but yeah. Id say go 22.

Here's mine,
I got 265/35/22 and +38 offset

NX hub size is 73.1?

corradoMR2

Nope. 60.1mm

Sweet looking rig! 22"s look good!

corradoMR2

^^^ Agree, I forgot how nice the 22" Vossens fill the wheel wells and make the NX look good. For reference to the inspiration:

Hello jccaguiat, i hope you are safe. You, your family and your baby NX.
I wanted you to help me find the same 22" wheels you have and how you did the fitment.
If you can do a post about it, i searched your post history and didn't find one talking about it, maybe it's my fault and didn't search well. Thank you for your contributions as well as Corrado.

Hi All,

I've just put on 22" on my nx200t, has anyone experienced handling issues. suspension/brakes damage due to a big jump in wheel size from stock standard wheels?
