all depends on the rim width and offsets....imo 20inch is too large for the LS body..19s are perfect. 18s are nice depending on what style.

theres a search button in the LS400 forum, just hit control + f on your keyboard and just search for the search button lol.

i agree wit pritty much everything that LiCelsior said except for the 20s bein to big. imo i dont think theyr 2 big at all but this is coming from some1 who has 22s on his Ls. so its all up to you with the size and how aggressive you want it to look

18 or 19's are pretty much ideal for the 1LS, but a 20 can fit under there as well. Few things you may want to consider when you order your wheels.

1. What lookare you looking to achieve? Donk style(4X4 LOOK with very low profile tires rubber band like), VIP Look (lowered with reasonable tire's), street (rims, lowered,etc.), or stock

2. What does the road conditions in your area look like? Lots of potholes, construction, etc .

3. Also you need to look into the wheel construction itself(forged, 2 piece, 3 piece, alloy)
4. Do you plan on doing fender mods? (rolling fenders)

With you being in Ct, and me knowing what most of your roads look like up there, if you want hassle free ownership with your wheels I would probably suggest a drop with 18's or 19's. This will still give you a fair amount of tire to protect your rims and you will not be constantly running back and forth to the shop to get your rims fixed after bending. IMO, with 20's and above, you will constantly be playing a game of swerve and miss with almost everything on the roads. 20's will fit as state, but you need to find out what look you are trying to achieve first. This thread will help you with other setups other LS owners here have done,,https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...eel-setup.html

you can fit 20's but it will lift the car up and look goofy. unless you're after that look....
18's or 19s are perfect, especially if you aggressively lower it.
