20s with an aggressive offset look good on an LS too. Just not enough people wanting to try it

I think 20's would look good for that slammed while rolling look but they dont fill the wheel well when slammed park. But id love to see someone rock an aggressive set of 20's

We tried it already. Looks dope. Used adapters just to try. makes the factory brakes look huge! Also you can run higher profile tires. Which rides better.

didn't think this belonged on the wheel and tire set up sticky, and even though this thread is about 22' CV4s... i hope you guys don't mind my sliding this in here, that being said. i chose 20's because these N.Y. streets are unforgiving. i already received a from another LS member but need a couple more. i don't want to lose the plush ride, i know i will anyway but the choice to go conservative IMO is practical, given the conditions of the streets here. this is the set up Lucille mapped out for me.
Vredestein Sessanta's on Vossen CV4-Silver mirror polished

245/40/20 front overall diameter 27.7 <> Vossen 20x9 5x120 et35
275/35/20 rear overall diameter 27.6 <> Vossen 20x10.5 5x120 et42
So as you can see the overall diameter is right on front & rear.

CV4's Staggered in SMP

the Vredestein tires are a concern. has anyone had any experience with them? this is my first Flagship and i want to keep the ride and exterior classy. thanx in advance for any advice given.

I would play with spacers when the wheels come in. The 42 offset is pretty high.

Continental DWS comes in those sizes. I had those exact sizes when I had my 20 staggered setup and they were very quiet and lasted for a long time. In fact, the CL member I sold them to still has them on I believe..and that was back in 2011. I recommend those only because I really like them and they last a long time

Hi everyone, right now plans are for 22" CV7, we have not made a decision on the CV5 in 22s. I attended the LS video shoot and I was stunned at how well it matched the LS (CV4). We also used the Prestigious Society lowering module for the LS in the video which allowed us to raise/lower the car.

We also are hard at work on our in house lightweight forged Vossen Precision Series so we are working around the clock in all manners right now. I can't wait to see those on the LS as well

Please tell me some of the lightweight forged Vossen Precision Series will have lips on them. Also what would be an estimated release date on these? Thanks
