Becareful with the AWD and staggered wheels. I had a good friend in the 3GS forum back in the day who had so much vibration that he sold the car . Damn bro, 600 with AWD. Thats the most expensive Lexus other than the LFA. I am so happy for you. Just be careful with the tire diameters
do you think 255/30 would be better considering the weight?? Don't do 265/30. It looks like ****. Total off road look.
I hear ya man..here's the issue with 255/30. Those are typically load index rated at 95 and the LS600 requires a 98. So, the 265/30s are close with 97 rating. I had the 265s before and it didn't look that bad. I would run those front and rear to keep overal diameter the same, but I'm a little nervous about trying staggered since there is NOBODY on CL (at least so far) that can say they have personally done it and have been running on it with no problems on an LS460 or 600 AWD equipped model. I may have to go 22x9 all around, not sure what to do just yet..maybe the system is way more robust than I am giving it credit
"cough cough" keep it stock "cough cough" LOL jk jk mayne...
I agree with you in the sense that the info for staggered 600's is scarce and judging from the IS & GS awd folks it can be a killer, so the most logical thing to do would be to get new shoes. How about some crazy 10.5 all around hehehe
Cheeze's car looks real clean with his setup. I remember a few other hidden members on here that have done some unique setups on 600', just can't remember them off the top of my head.
You got $115k I can borrow? I don't have Romney money.. just some of it lol
or maybe he means when the new ls600hl comes out the current style will take another hit on price
staggered on awd is no problem. personally i wouldn't worry that much on load rating. yeah one can call safety all day, but how likely you are going to do full load. as long as it's not too far off.

But, I gotta say those stockers look pretty nice
LMFAO
LOL! I do love the 19s..my lowering module will be here soon and they will look even better with even a slight drop! I'm spoiled by the smooth ride right now. I really like cheez's setup too with the rover wheels. I'm struggling to figure out how he's pulling off a 40 offset on a 10" wide wheel, especially with inner front. My Vossens were 35 offset at* 9 inches wide and it was extremely close on that control arm..I would do hyper silver personally

but that's me
I think they factor in emergency swerves under extreme conditions and pad the recommended load rating higher for that sorta thing..but even with my current 245/30 and 295/25 setup, if you add up the load rating for each tire, it comes out to 5,996 lbs which is barely less than the 6k lb GVWR and about 1k more lbs than the vehicle curb weight. I'm going to mount them and test them on some of the new roads out by my house and see how the car responds.

Thanks man..I'm doing a test run this weekend for 50 miles or so..see how car reacts with stags...if all good, I would feel better with better fronts..I'm interested to see what you can do..I think you have some big shoes to fill to beat my discount tire mgr connection..but send me a quote via PM for some 265/30/22s if you don't mind..appreciate ya

Hey man, so after doing some homework, it appears the LS460 requires a 97 rating and the 600 requires 98..I've been running on 92 fronts for months and no issues so you are probably right
