Default 22inch wheel fitment question

Anyone with experience putting 22s or larger rims on the LS500, I have a quick question. The wheels I'm looking at are 22x9 with an offset of 15, the wheel shop is telling it needs to be 9 and offset of 15 to not be to close to the struts. I usually don't go this aggressive on aftermarket wheels, the oem offset is 25 for the 20s. Anyone have any experience with 22inch setup or larger, trying to avoid any issues. Also, the tires will be 265/35/22 all around since it's AWD.

Just an update on the thread, ended up ordering Elegant EL907 22s. 22x9.5 with a 15mm offset. 265/35/22 all around. Fingers crossed, can't wait to get them, guy said they should fit great.

Ended up getting the tires and rims installed today - 265/30/22. Love the look of the chrome on the black LS. Definitely feel the difference with the 30 series tire, some road noise.

staggered wheels with different sizes will cause problems on AwD?

I'm not an expert on the fitments but I believe so, it should equal the same if you are running different numbers but I was always advised run square setup on AWD.
