22s are the perfect size for the LS. A small drop would help as well.

you need wheels that are tps compatible in order to avoid the light. 22s are ok as long as you do it right. it's a wrong question to ask how much lip you can get with 22s, coz' it depends on the widths, offsets, and also the style of the wheels.

if you have air suspension then lowering module can lower your car

you have to check with your vendor. if you go to wheels manufacturer site sometimes they mention it. but some wheels, they actually transitioned from non tps compatible to tps compatible

for me i just used my stock ones taken out from stock wheels

mine was ls460l with air suspension, so ride was considerably better than ls460 with springs/shocks. even with 22s and lowered the car still rode pretty smooth, everyone was surprised in my car

We have done wheels for quite a few LS460's since their introduction, including the beautiful rollers on Alsilverbullets car.

The TPS compatibility is not an issue, and neither is lowering when done properly. I'm not sure if its the same person, but didn't we speak earlier in the week about these wheels?:
