Default Are rims interchangeable?

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if I can use 17" 2014 IS250 rims on 2017 NX200t?
I am hoping I can use them as a winter tire rims so I don't have to buy another one.

Thanks,

Peter

I would look at the offset first but I think it shouldn't be a problem.

Hi,
How can I figure out the offset?
Is it on the rim? Mine is just a steel rim and I don't remember seeing any numbers...

Thanks,

First of all it would be nice to know if u have an Fsport or not but either way your 2014 is250 have an offset +45 all around. The NX has an offset +35.

Thank you for the reply.
It's not Fsport.
I just wanted to make sure that the bolt holes line up properly, and that it will fit properly. Don't really care about the looks as it's a steel rim and will have winter tires.

They need to be overall the same size tire (circumference) otherwise will throw off your speedometer and odometer. You can use an online tire size calculator to compare your stock size to the proposed size.

I know that I needed to get a new tire as IS250 had a 225/45R17 and NX200t needs 225/65R17. I just wanted to make sure that I can recycle the rims.
I just did some research and found that the rim bolt pattern is same between them. Therefore I am assuming that they are interchangeable...

Can 255/55/18 tires be used on the 2017 F Sport wheels? My NX came with 225/60/18.

What you're describing is the bolt pattern for BMW wheels.

This topic is regarding wheels between the Lexus IS250 and the Lexus NX, both of which are the same bolt pattern 114.3", so yes the wheels are interchangeable.

However, you may want to check if the weights on the IS can support the NX just to be safe.
