Default 22" wheel offset suggestions on 460

Ok, so I've been looking on the forum and see that 22x10.5 rear is a popular choice when it comes to 22" wheels but I'd like to know what kind of offset would be good for a 460. I have a buddy that wants to sell me a set of Forgiatos from his 750 but they have a 6" lip and they had to roll the inside of his fenders. I dont want that done. Whats a recommended offset? Thanks

from what i have read, the 7 series seem to take more aggressive offsets. if your friend had to modify the fenders on his 7 series to fit those 22s, my gut feeling is it might be too tight for the ls460

Thanks, guess I'll scratch that idea and put the plastic to work for a new set.

Wheels from a 7 will not fit. I tried when I first bought my LS. My prior car was a a 7 series and I loved the rims I had, GFG Basel 5's 22x11's in the rear, When I put them on the LS the stance was way to aggressive and the rear caliper was touching the inside of the wheel.

we have new VIP Modular 22x11 on the rear of our LS.
its a little difficult stuffing a 6" lip in the rear like we have, to make it all happen we are at -10 degrees camber, but it all comes down to what suspensions you have too...

Its a LWB with the air suspension. Do you have any pics of the one mentioned above? Would love to see what 11s with a 6" lip look like on the 460.
