- Can you put 22" wheels on a 2011 LS 600h L without a bunch of mods, tuning, etc?

- I'm in NY, so I'm thinking about getting a set of cool wheels for spring/summer/fall (maybe those Vossen CV1's) and putting snow tires on the 19" OEM rims for the winter.... Does that involve re-tweaking suspension, etc or is that a plug and play change-out when the snow comes? Can you get half the way there by sticking with a cool 19" set up instead?

- If you cross over to the dark side of tricking out your already over the top ride, do you give up the awesome silence and smooth ride that the fuddy duddy wheels/tires currently give? Do the larger rims still have a quiet, super smooth ride or is it really more about hugging the road and looking cool with the 22's as opposed to feeling like your floating on air even when your traversing NY-sized pot holes?

- I put around 3k miles a month on this rig so it has to feel like butter, not just look good.

- And, the final jeopardy question, what wheels make it all work and how many miles should I expect to get?

Or, is this whole gambit a bad idea for simple back seat drivin' city folk?

EDUCATE ME!

 

Have you looked at the wheel and tire thread sticky? https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...ls-thread.html

 

Put 22s on my 600 no mods what so ever. 22x9 up front and 22x10.5 rears. I drive 500 a month on my LS only so it still feels good and smooth on the 600 but that much driving I might stick with 19s or 20s maybe to keep the factory quiet ride. Idk how bad NY potholes are.
