Looking to buy these wheels. What do ppl think about them on a silver ls 460 silver?

Or in alternative, I might buy these, change the center caps.

Vossens should fit fine if the bolt pattern of s550 is a 5x120. I'm pretty sure the offsets are standard vossen 35-38. Now the ones on the BMW are aggressive. Maybe too aggressive for the 460. Not to say you can't make it work. Might have to slam, stretch tires, work in more camber, and do fender work to make it fit

vossen wont fit from the s550 different bolt pattern 5x112 vs 5x120... the forgiatto are aggresive on the bimmer, I bough a pair for mines that came from a bimmer and the they were aggresive the rears were okay because of a fender roll but the front were wide and if the offset aint right there is little you can do, beside get smaller lips to bring the rims in a little but not too much because of the control arms. but if you are up for the challenge I can help. those ottos are a great price if they are not curbed but for them to fit be prepared to spend some money on getting them to fit.

For the money I would just get a new set of VOSSENs. They have some really cool new style coming. Check out their CV4 and CV5. They are going to be INSANE!!!!

The tire size is 235/25/22 for the front, and 265/30/22 for the rear? Does anyone think this is concerning?

Please do some research by first going here to see what other LS460 owners are doing with their wheel and tire setups https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=604361

it's cheap and easy to get your wheels redrilled, if you were dead set on those vossens, especially in socal and miami (since there are so many wheel manufacturers and shops in both those areas)

Is there a big problem with going with 265 in the rear. Obv the next time around i would go with 295. Maybe id even do it this time around.

the Tires are Pirelli ...

Running 265's on the rear is beast mode b/c it looks so damn fresh! I get many many compliments on the stretch look!
