The best snow chain option for the 2017 Lexus RX 450H is the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Pro Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern part # TH04115255 because they are the easiest to install but will still provide you with the traction you are looking for because of the diamond pattern high quality nickel alloy design. To install the Konig chain all you have to do is put the chain over the tire and step on the self-tensioning mechanism with your foot to tighten the chain.

The best thing about these chains is you don't have to get on the snowy ground to tighten them or keep up with any lug nut adapters with the other options. They also come with a nice nylon storage bag that have the instructions printed on it. You do want to make sure you have 10mm of clearance between top of the tire tread and the wheel well and the tire's sidewall to the vehicle. That would convert to about 0.40". Please let me know if you don't have the clearance and I can make other recommendations.
