For your 2016 Lexus IS 200t, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11389 is currently the only confirmed fit. It is a Class I trailer hitch with a 200 lb tongue weight rating. It is an easy installation with all the mounting hardware included. Curt requires stability strap # 18050 for bike rack use with this trailer hitch.
The Thule Helium Aero 2 Bike Rack # TH9042PRO is a great choice and will fit this trailer hitch receiver well. I've attached a video of this bike rack to assist. This lightweight rack weighing just 25 lbs comes with the hitch lock and bike locks integrated. I recommend the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes # 64005 to create a top frame rail for level transport on any step-through style bikes.
