Default 22s on a lexus ls460

I am not new to this forum but haven't posted in a while . Last year I purchased a 2008 Lexus ls 460L. my question is what made you guys choose 22s over 20s and did you have modify the car in anyway to put the 22s on.

You should be able to run both sizes with no issues. What wheels were you looking into? Maybe a set of BD Wheels?

I’m running staggered 22s with no issues. Chose them over 20s because it filled up wheel well better 👍

If you run the correct size and offsets, then 22's will be fine. Remember that you will have to run skinnier tires on 22's vs 20's so if there are a bunch of potholes or bad roads in your area, then it you may have bent wheels and eggs in those tires often.

roads in my area aren't the greatest that's why I may not go 22s

my 22s cracked more times on my 460 then any other car previously

with that said im running a new set of wheels this summer, a 22 inch set of auto coutures lol

theres no way around it , 22s are the best visual fir for these really big cars , at least in my opinion

don't bother powder coating the niche wheels, you will never get that money back and its not going to do much for the cars appearance

It seems really odd hearing people talk about how bad their city's roads are. I always thought New Orleans had the worst imaginable and that other states were wonderful. Don't get me wrong, the streets here are horrendous but it is really interesting to see its just not us. I've driven many other states that others have told me had wonderful roads and didn't think they were all that great. But to answer the openers question, I've had both 20's and 22's on my car and i didn't notice much of a difference in comfort level while driving. I did however only get about 6 months at a time for the 22's. Either i would blow a tire or i would find a crack. The last time i had them, I had 2 cracks on my front rims. The 20's were able to have a slightly larger sidewall so the worst was maybe a bend if i hit something really hard. As for now, I'm on the stock wheels. Can't afford to keep spending to fix things that only get a short lifespan.
