I've got 20" on mine and I think I should have gone to 22"'s now that I think about it. But if you don't have the money for 22's and don't want to be TOO flashy, I'd go with 20's.

22s is almost the perfect size if you want that aggressive look. i put them on my lx470 and get complements around every corner. tire size will be 305/40/22. let me know if i can help as you know the 470 has one of the rarest bolt patterns out there and i've done my home work on what will and will not fit

Default ATI Presa

I have a 22 inch ATI Italia Presa for that truck with Pirelli 305/40 22 for $3480. 22 Inch will look the best 20's will ride a little better.

22s look great on the LX, but they are difficult to fit correctly- sounds like Brandon may have a sweet deal for you. For anything larger tham 20", I would recommend a brake upgrade, due to the higher rotational inertia of the big cast aluminum wheels. Looking good is cool, but stopping is even cooler.
Brandon can probably help with this, too!

I know that nobody here wants to hear this, I am not into the silver or aluminum look, sorry. I do like the flash of something chrome, like on my gs. I have 20" chrome wheels on it, black, very flashy. Thanks a bunch for your offer, I appreciate that. What is the bolt pattern on the lx470 anyhow? Thank you everybody for the input..
