The 22s are 9" wide +40. No problem they will fit and be nearly flush with the fenders like mine which are the same specs as your 22s except mine poke a tiny 2mm more out (+38):
Same for the 20 at 8.5" wide +38mm. These will fit too and be about a quarter inch more tucked in than the 22s.
Either are good, pick the one that suits your tastes/budget. Happy shopping!
99% as smooth with 265/35/22s vs the 18" 60 series tires though I attribute that to the AVS my NX is equipped with which compensates in dampening force. On non-adaptive suspension models (I.e. in the US) you'd notice some harshness but all depends on what you can tolerate. If you want to play it safe on ride comfort, go for the 20s with Yokohama Parada Spec X tires.

what about mpg? Did it go down drastically? And how accurate is the speedometer after you got your 22s?

MPGs went down by about 1.5-2 on the 22s and about 1 on the 20s but a lot of that is due to the non-low-rolling-resistance tires and wider contact patch (265 on the 22s, 255 on the 20s) increasing rolling resistance.
these 2 are what catches my eyes. What set of tires would work nice? Or are the recommended there good?
For 22s, I currently have the Nexen Roadian HP (265/35/22) and I am happy with them for the price. If you want a smoother ride, quieter, better tire overall, but more expensive, go for the Yokohama Parada Spec X in the same size for 22s or 255/45/20 for the 20s is what I had on my past 20 inch wheels. For research on tires, it's best you check out the reviews and tests on tirerack.com and select the one that best suits your needs based on your budget.
Now the TPMS, this might sound dumb. but can't I just take the old one and put it in the new set of rims? If not, then would these work? https://www.carid.com/2016-lexus-nx-...199083699.html And do I need to order 4? thanks guys!

30s u will not like the ride and look. Min 35s. As for tpms, u have to run the ones that is specific for your car otherwise it won't program.

Yes, you can have a tire mechanic remove the original TPMS set and insert them in your new wheels. No programming needed though the mechanic has to keep track of which sensor was in which wheel location (front left, front right, rear left, rear right) and to put it in that location in the wheel to match. If and when you do eventually rotate the tires, just be aware that the pressure indicated by your car will then not match its location of the wheel.
