How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
Because an SUV's center of gravity is already higher than a sedan's, anything added at the corners — including wheel weight — has an outsized effect on handling balance. A forged wheel lets us hit the visual stance owners want without adding the rotational mass a cast wheel of the same strength would carry.
The Lexus RX [US] ships from the factory on a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 60.1mm center bore and a 19x8J ET40 wheel. Our flush reference for the Lexus RX [US] is 21x9J ET30.; our maximum aggressive reference is 22x9.5J ET25. — beyond that, expect clearance issues against the fender liner without further modification.
Lexus RX [US] OE Wheel Specs
The Lexus RX [US] ships from the factory on 5x114.3 bolt pattern wheels with a 60.1mm center bore. The stock wheel size is 19x8J ET40, offering a balanced ride that suits most owners without any rubbing or clearance concerns.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Balances ride comfort with steering response and highway efficiency.
- Wide tire and wheel availability at the factory diameter keeps replacement costs low.
- Lower unsprung weight than larger aftermarket wheels helps ride quality and acceleration.
- Guaranteed clearance against brake calipers and suspension components.
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Lexus RX [US] (2023) we drill the 5x114.3 pattern on our own CNC line, so the wheel hub-centres on the car with no spacer rings, in whatever diameter, width and offset you specify.

Flush Fitment
For a flush look without any body modification, most Lexus RX [US] owners run 21x9J ET30. This setup tucks the wheel face closer to the fender lip while staying within safe load and clearance limits.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
Owners chasing a more aggressive stance push to 22x9.5J ET25. Chassis: Lowering springs. Tires: 265/45 R21. Clearance should be verified before ordering, especially on lowered cars.

Decision Guide
1. What is this car mainly used for? Daily driving favors Tier A or B; weekend/show use favors Tier D or E.
2. What is your budget? Tiers A-B keep cost low; Tiers D-E cost significantly more in wheels, tires, and possible suspension work.
3. Is fuel economy and ride comfort a priority? If yes, stay at Tier A or B; heavier, wider wheels at Tier D-E reduce efficiency and comfort.
4. Still unsure? Tier C (Balanced / Flush Fit) is the safe default for most Lexus RX [US] owners.
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as: wheel width (in) / 2 + offset (mm) / 25.4 + 0.5.
- OE 19x8J ET40: backspacing ≈ 6.07"
- Flush 21x9J ET30: backspacing ≈ 6.18"
- Max 22x9.5J ET25: backspacing ≈ 6.23"

Custom Forged Wheels for the Lexus RX [US] (2023)
Everything above is reference data. If you want wheels actually built to it, that is what ANKUSI does: we are a forged wheel factory in Guangzhou, China, IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 certified, forging on our own 10,000-ton press and producing over 120,000 wheels a year. Forging blank, CNC machining, finishing, coating and inspection all happen in the same building — nothing is subcontracted and nothing is relabelled from another manufacturer.
Every set is cut to order, so the 5x114.3 pattern is machined for this car specifically. Diameter, width, offset, concavity, monoblock or multi-piece construction and the finish are all yours to choose.
Designs we already tool for the 5x114.3 pattern — each one is re-cut to your sizes and offsets:
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Lexus RX [US] use?
The 2023 Lexus RX [US] uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Lexus RX [US] use?
The Lexus RX [US] uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x114.3), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Lexus RX [US]?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 21x9J at ET30 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Lexus RX [US].
Do I need wheel spacers for my Lexus RX [US]?
No. ANKUSI forges each wheel to your exact target offset, including the flush or max specs above, so you get the correct fitment without stacking spacers. Spacers are typically only used to push out an existing OE-offset wheel without replacing it, which isn't necessary when you're ordering a custom-offset forged wheel.
How do I calculate wheel backspacing for my Lexus RX [US]?
Backspacing (in inches) = wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance). For example, the flush spec above works out to roughly 6.18" of backspacing.
What's the difference between wheel offset and backspacing?
Offset is the distance in millimeters from the wheel's true centerline to its mounting face (positive offset pulls the wheel in, negative pushes it out). Backspacing is the distance in inches from the mounting face to the back edge of the wheel barrel. They describe the same fitment from two different reference points, which is why ANKUSI lists both above — some shops and tuning guides quote offset, others quote backspacing.
Can I run staggered wheels (different sizes front and rear) on my Lexus RX [US]?
The Lexus RX [US] runs the same wheel size front and rear from the factory, so staggered fitment is not required. ANKUSI can still forge a staggered set (wider rear) on request if you want a more aggressive stance.
