From my experience fronts if it is 20x8 et16 will fit fine, I have 20x8.5 et20 and they fit.

Rear 20x10 et16 will rub without fender modification, I have 20x10 et30 with 285 tires and they rub slightly to fender plastic liner in bumps with full load, highways speeds, and stock air without lowering, but stock air lowers the car quite much at speed.

Im going to change my wheels and looks like my next setup will be 20x9 et35 and 20x10.5 et42.

I have 22x10 with 17 offset and 22x9 with 20 offset .. Wonder if it with work ? Willing to roll my fenders but what size of tire ? I don't want take any risk so I'm thinking 265-30-22 all around they will be stretch in the rear with the low offset it's better clearance.

After awhile, oversized tires, imho, can begin to look more and more like SUV/truck tires. If they stick out over an inch or so, they look out of place, They resemble the old stretched tires on some ricers. Car is too classy for this.

One mans humble opinion.

The "stick out" that you see is equal to the lip or 1/2 inch and when compress the wheel travel inward...That offset is Not my chosen the mistake was made from Asanti when these were ordered years ago but was discovered by me on this car... Story short before I give up on them I want an opinion from people who had similar setup...Thanks but I Don't really need or want your esthetic taste.

A bit triggered? It looks like you might have much bigger issues than those related to your car.

Hey Pal, there is a wheel and tire section below. It covers various rim and tire sizes and whether or not people rolled their fenders. I think the whole big wheel trend has kinda died down. I don't see it as much these days compared to early 2000s to maybe 2010. Also a lot of us have gotten older since the LS460 came out I had just turned 30. Nowadays car already come with factory 20 and 22s. I did see a proper dropped 2007-2009 Gen Ls460L with multi spoke faced 22s and it looked stunning! I couldn't catch up in time after the red light to get another look. That thing had some serious road presence!

you're right I've post in the wheel & tire tread weeks ago ... Nothing ... I didn't want to modify (roll ) my fenders but I already have me 3 pieces Forged aluminum wheels ... I think the LS is a big car and 20 will look a bit small.

Thanks for the help!

I agree 20s are almost pointless on a big body. They are now the 18s of the past. However 20s with a nice drop is a good balance of style and comfort. Make sure you spray rust treatment on those rotor. Seeing nice open rims with rusty rotors is my pet peeve.
