The size on the placard inside the driver's door jamb is the one your car left the factory with. Match that, not this table, if they differ; a previous owner may have changed wheels.

Worth knowing about the 2016 NX
- Wipers. Rain-X lists push-button (D-PTB) front arms and a Toyota-type rear arm, so choose blades listed for this model rather than by length alone.
- LED lighting. The low beam, fog light, daytime running, brake light, tail light, license plate are sealed LED units with no user-replaceable bulb. A failure means replacing the assembly.
- Bulbs. The 9005 high beam and bulb-type front turn signal apply to headlights with halogen high beams; LED high-beam headlights use sealed LED units.
- Spare. This vehicle carries a compact (temporary) spare.
- Tire chains. The manual permits chains or cables, on the drive wheels only, fitted to the standard tire size. Chains for this size on Amazon →
- Tires. Tire chains go on the front tires only and cannot be fitted to 225/60R18 tires, and the compact spare is a T165/80D17.
- Torque. Tighten lug nuts to 76 ft-lbs in a star pattern with a torque wrench, and re-check after the first 50 miles. This figure is from the owner's manual; an impact gun will overshoot it.
- TPMS. New sensors on this car need a relearn (tool (new sensor ID codes are registered by a Lexus dealer; after a pressure change, initialize through the multi-information display)); they will not pair on their own by driving.
- Key fob. Match the FCC ID (HYQ14FBA) printed on the back of your fob when buying a replacement; the same car can use two fob designs in one year. A new fob still needs programming to the car.
- Key fob. Some models also came with a card key, whose battery is replaced by a Lexus dealer.
- Roof load. The 176 lb roof limit is the dynamic figure for driving and includes the rack itself. It is not a limit for a rooftop tent when parked; the manual gives no static figure.
- Roof. The limit applies to vehicles with roof rails.
- Octane. The manual requires 87 octane and recommends 91 for full performance. Regular will not harm the engine; premium is a choice, not a requirement.
- Fuel. Lexus calls for 91 octane premium in the NX 200t and allows 87 only when 91 is not available, and the NX 300h hybrid holds 14.8 gal and takes 87 octane.
