Those tires are too big, you would need closer to 245/35/20

Thank you! Guess I'll have to drop the cheap route and get a new set. Any one got a pic of a 06 with 20" chrome snowflakes on stock the ls430 suspension?

Have you test fit these wheels? Our cars have big front calipers and you may need a spacer to get them to fit.

Also there is a 20" wheel picture thread sticky where you might find something similar to what you have

I'm running 245/40/20s and they do rub on stock suspension in the front over big speedbumps/potholes, that's probably bc I run 15mm spacers due to the large brake calipers. the rear wheels don't need spacers bc the calipers are smaller.

wheel size I would not go bigger than what I'm running now, I def regret not getting slim profile tires

yes tested new rims and going with a 20mm spacer to clear calipers. Rims came off a cbrysler 300c and bolt pattern is good just offset is in the way in front.

you will probably be fine but will rub a little bit. Would recommend thinner tires. and don't use spacers on the rears at all, mine rub a LOT when I had spacers on. its unnecessary
