good choice in wheel -- those altstadts have always been a favorite of mine. you'll be able to run staggered wheel widths front and rear as long as your tire's overall diameter is the same across all 4 tires -- vw/audi guys have been running staggered fitments for decades. for example, if you wanted to run falken fk452s, us 600h guys would probably be able to get by with their 235/30/22 and 285/25/22 tires since the OD listed on their site is the same. if you wanted to run 21's, 245/35/21 and 285/30/21 hankook v12 evos would work, and so on and so forth. it just takes a lot of time researching what tire will work :P

Right, Altstadt is a good choice:

Please pay attention to the tire load index. The LS600h is too heavy for any 235/30/22 and 245/35/21 At least 97 is required, isn't it?

yes, good point -- you should always be aware of your load ratings but the hankooks have a load rating of 96/100 for the 245/285 setup i mentioned, which i think is close enough that you'll be fine (the difference between a 96 and 97 load rating is ~40/lb a tire). if you aren't loading the car to within an inch of its GVWR, you'll be ok with a 96 rated tire.
