S-Class tire chains for passenger vehicles with tire size 225/60R18 appear on the linked page. These special low-profile chains are made for the many passenger vehicles that have limited clearance within their wheel wells.

In terms of ease of installation the very best option is Konig K-Summit chain set # TH02230K66. These European made chains offer automatic tension control (so no rubber cords are needed to hold them securely), protection for the vehicle's rims and steel D-shaped links with spikes to grip well on ice. They also have a 5-year warranty. There are lower cost options with fewer features.

The online edition of the owners manual for the 2019 Lexus NX 300h indicates on page 258 that tire size 225/60-18 should not use chains but instead use snow tires. I suggest you check your owner's manual in case it differs from the general online version I could access.
