I mean take ur time and plan out your setup. I see too many cars where they just raise it and it looks like a suv.

22s look ridiculous on all LS400s imho.

if all you want is lip just get an aggressive 18/19/20" setup, lip size has nothing to do with diameter. That's how guys like Vincent and Jeebus and Sickwidit have like 2 phone's worth of lip on 19/20" wheels.

fitting depends on wheel offset, tire size, and suspension drop (lowering). it can fit but, like PD said, will look riDONKulous unless you like that sorta thing.

I ran 22s on my 99ls for a min...but the offset wasn't right so I took them off. They looked good, but it was too much for me. I didnt have to raise it or nothin...mine where just too wide.
I ran 295/30/22x10.5 rear and 265/30/22x9 front. When I should have gone with an higher offset and 245 front and 275 rear.

I'm in the process of lowering my car with some 20x9 front n 20x10.5 rear with a smaller width tires.
It's all about ur taste and Wat u like.

i wouldnt go any higher than 19's. 20+ would start affecting ride quality. just putting my 2 cents. but its all on your preferences bro.
