Default 22" or 21" wheels

Hey everyone
So my sister in law has a 07 ls460. She wants to put wheels on it without doing any suspension mods. She doesn't have air suspension. And she said maybe a little fender roll.
Any pictures with 22s or 21s with stock hight?
And what size tire are you guys running?

Here is a link to the official wheels thread. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-4th-gen-2007-present/604361-ls-460-600-wheel-and-tire-information-details-thread.html
With that said, does it have to be a 21" or 22" wheel? Personally, I think 20's look the best on a LS that isn't going to be lowered.

I agree.....for stock suspension and if you're using it as a daily driver with passengers, I'd suggest 20's. 21's will require a shorter sidewall which are not suited for daily with passengers and poor road conditions, and 22's are worst. Keep in mind, 21" tires are rare and the selection very small.

Also, with a stock suspension, the lower the aspect ratio for the tires, the bigger the wheel gap will appear as an optical illusion.

20" wheel would provide comfort and sport looking for non-lowered suspension. 21" would suit much better for lowered vehicle.


Just my 2cents.

Which is more important: ride comfort or visual stance/aesthetics?

As with anything, the older you get, the ride quality becomes more important than wheel gap. Just saying.

Spare yourself some pain, go 20".
