Attention! these different eheels only for 2wd cars. For AWD is not good for the car electronics
I have AWD, I order the same wheels . I tested the wheel of my GS on NX and 10.5 is not problem
I have ordered Front 22/10,5/et 35 Rear 22/10,5/et 17 (Aimgain GIIM forged - Work wheels and Aimgain body ) my NX showcars only - 22" not is problem . I apologize for my language

sapik may be right about the staggered setup risking longer term issues with the AWD.
As for clearance between the suspension and the wheel, I have about 1 inch ( a little more at back) with my setup so for instance a square setup with 20x9 offset +40 will fit and should not rub if equipped like mine with 255/45/20s. As for this particular tire size, not it is slightly taller in diameter than OEM by 10 mm effectively "slowing down" the speedometer/odometer readings by 1.5% from reading with OEM 225/60/18 tires.

Carbon Fiber Wrap - Door Switch Trim
If there is one interior trim piece that is a little weak to my eyes and weak on scratch resistance, it's the power window switch trim on all four doors.
So I wrapped it in carbon fiber vinyl wrap.

3M Paint Defender applied to front bumper
Applied 3M Paint Defender on the most exposed areas of the front bumper. As seen wit the IS, I expect this to work as well and prevent my NX from looking like the moon's surface.
3M Paint Defender for 25$ a can. Half a can was used to complete below.
All taped up. Exposed area to get protection film.
Applied 3 continuous coats.
After 3 hours drying time.

Wow!!! I love the new shoes. How's the ride quality? I remember you saying to keep the weight as close to OEM to keep to the original ride quality.
EDIT: Nvrmd...just saw your answer on another post. Keep up the great job on "Darth NX!"
