A picture is worth a thousand words...Front on 20" and Rear on 22"
My opinion, 20" are too small. Notice the gap between the back of the front bumper and the tires...and 22", nice but a little too big. The perfect size is 21"...again, just my opinion as I took the time to actually test fit.

I am in NY, so obviously my car is AWD. I am running a staggered set up. My concerns are damaging the AWD system and the LSCD. I've read tons of info on staggering an AWD. Some positive, some negative. The car is brand spankin new and I don't want any problems. I was surprised at how light the Vossen CV4 wheels are. Going bigger would mean going heavier which in turn will put more stress on the system.

THIS IS EXACTLY MY POINT... hown can ANYONE say that the 20s look good up front even when dropped? that gap in front of the tire and bumper looks hideous.
...
Your car is dope and hey i wish i could afford it, BUT i feel like wanting wheels and EXPECTING the same ride quality as your stock ones is NOT being a realist. IT is a known fact that once you put aftermarket wheels, your ride won't be the same.
You seem to be getting defensive about this and the bottom line, based on the picture that was just posted, the fender gap DOES NOT look good EVEN IF YOU DROP YOUR CAR.
dont worry, i see you putting 22s in about a year or so... Just like CJITTY did on his...

Different strokes for different folks. Your opinions are YOUR opinions, there is no "right" or "wrong".
Do to your car what you want and let him do what he wants. He's not the one getting defensive...he has nothing to defend. Its his car.

.Now that's what’s' up another LS460 coming down the GA, we need more LS's at the meets and you will have the first 2013!
All this mod stuff we do with our cars as anything we do to personalize something we own is subjective….in the end you have to live with your reasons and choice you made no one else. Long as you are happy is all that matters, (which seems to be the case) I must say you are handling the opinions in an open forum with class and you know how forums work so bravo sir!
All let’s just chalk this one up as to agree to disagree and move on, the OP has stated his thoughts to your opinions about the 20’s vs. 21’s & 22’s. I think the horse is dead now, I’m a 22’ guy but I respect sydtoosic choice and happy for him.

I saw the Precision series in person at SEMA and I think they are stunning. Easily some of the best looking wheels I have ever seen. The styles and finish are amazing

Vossen 20" silver machine polished CV4. i know 22's are the norm for an LS but i just couldn't bare tearing up beautiful wheels on these N.Y. streets.

I wish the mod who merged this kept the title from the LS forum, this is in the LS forum with the GS title.

Thanx Josh... I'm still on the fence about lowering it. I want to but... IMO it's a toss up with an AWD. With a RWD I would have dropped her when i got the wheels put on. But my gut is telling me that dropping an AWD is more trouble than it's worth.

First thing: Great choice on the wheels. This combo looks super clean and classy!
Second thing: Like others have said, people mod their cars for different reasons. Some mod just for looks and say to hell with practicality and performance. Running negative camber just to fit bigger wheels makes no sense to me. Might as well wear your pants backwards like Kriss Kross (RIP). I myself, think finding the right balance between form and function is key. When you can make your car look better and increase performance, that's golden.
Sure 22's look better are much more impressive, but you end up sacrificing too much just for style. I support your decision 100% and give you a virtual high 5.
