I agree to each their own. There are no wrong answers here. Everyone is entitled to do to their cars what they wish.

Watch Potholes well! I have 22's and a pothole on the freeway has one of them with a nice dent in it. I think 21's are probably the safest large size you can go as you will have enough tire to protect the rims! I wish i went 21's.

Anyone want to buy my 22' in Vossen VFS1's ?

hwy i have a question did you have to do any work to the car or add a new suspension? I just bought 22s staggered rims but they telling me i have to do body work and get a sports suspension or else it will rub on da fender and stick out way to much. Im overseas so im not sure if they know what they talking about. Any advice? They said the offset is wrong. I bought the rims in the states off of ebay and they said it fits a lexusls460

Much respect!!! I also swap oem on and off for roadtrips. Your write ups about the lowering springs and no camber kit are what swayed me towards the 24's. No fender gap without lowering. In truth airride and 22s would have been ideal and I am currently researching air suspensions. Also in showing the car, everyone does 22's, so 4's will definitely standout. Extreme is my thing I guess.
All good man. Appreciate the words. It all comes down to preference at the end of the day. Some people with oem wheels get bent wheels too ;-)

Have you looked at this thread? https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...ls-thread.html

There are plenty of options to not require body work or a "sport suspension" lol...don't get taken for a ride. Research is the key and this thread provides real world examples on what works, what requires mods etc. Match up to some of these posts in this thread. Go back to your wheel shop armed with specs to avoid a major headache

The road noise is minimum. Tires are Toyo Proxes 275/25/24.
Did you have to do anything special to make these fit?

Default 24s fit perfect, you need no modifications

I put spacers in the back, but i only put those in the back because the car had that dreaded sit lower in the back and sit higher in the front look! Even before i put the spacers in between the springs on the rear on, it was straight fit with no modifications! 24s would have fit perfect without the rear spacers!

Nice! I've been shopping around and I'm really considering on getting me a Lexus but I also wanted to keep my 24s. You may have just helped with that decision. Thanks.
