From a dealer perspective, this will not work. But there may be an option to salvage them

I have recently purchased a 2023 Lexus RX350. It has 21-inch wheels and the tires on it are 235/50 R21.

You had me for a bit on this question as I was having a hard time figuring out why you were being told they weren’t going to work. As you mentioned the total circumference is within the legal 3 per cent and all other specs were the same. Then I stumbled onto the wheel stud sizing. It switched from a 12-millimetre wheel stud on your 2020 model to a 14-millimetre wheel bolt starting on the 2023 model year. So, from a dealer perspective they will absolutely not work.

The 60-degree conical bolt seat is the industry standard on most modern vehicles and describes the mounting angle where the wheel nut meets the wheel. Your older RX350 was one of the Toyota/Lexus vehicles on the road that did not use this system but employed a wheel nut with a washer instead. Your newer RX350 however moved away from the nut and washer system.
