Default NEW NX Owner

Hello everyone,

My name is Lam and I have been on CL site for awhile but NEW to this NX forum. I just bought a new '17 NX200t FSport AWD White/Red. Happy to be here and can't wait to read and learn from you all NX experts.

I first bought my wife a new Lexus in 2006 and fell in love with the brand since then. So far we have had an '07 IS250 AWD, '10 RX350 AWD, '10 RX450h AWD, '15 GX460, and now '17 NX200t. It is a big change for me to get back into the small car but I love how it drives. I had a '12 Tacoma DC LongBed (228" long) with big tires and some lifts for 4 years then I wanted something bigger and "badder' so I got a '16 Tundra Limited CrewMax (229" long)....Well, after 4 months the truck is too much for me and some days I feel like it beats me up (at 5700 lbs you can feel the weight of the truck in city driving) so I traded it in for the NX....

Thanks guys....

Couple things I'm looking for are:
1- Largest tires for the OEM rims. Can 245/55/18 fit without rubbing?
2- Highbeam LED bulbs (I don't have the triple LED) - What do you use?
3- The piece that attached to the doors - preventing shopping carts dings----What does that call?

3 - body side molding

you can search ebay for matching color ones from various Lexus dealerships. Should be a little cheaper than getting it directly from your dealer. Install is easy if you're the meticulous type to measure three or more times.
