Default 22s on ls 500

Do the ls 460 rims fit the 500. I got 22s but I think the tires sizes on the 500 come with a taller profile 45 instead of a 40..maybe I can get a 30 instead of a 25 ..

They should fit only issue you need to make sure of is the Calipers unless you don't have F-Sport model.

curious how the ride is affected on the Ls500 with 22s”.

On a related note, does anyone know the offsets of the upgraded 20” vapor wheels?

Yea you will need bigger tires. Maybe 255/35, 295/30 in back if staggered. The tires on the 500 are basically the same size as my previous car which was a X6, and that's a truck.

I'm having 24s built cuz I don't think I'll be satisfied with 22s and still being a fat tire.

Going from a 20 runflat to a 22 non runflat should be about the same. If the LS didn't come with RFs, I bet it would be more noticeable.
The LC offset is +25. I would imagine the LS is the same since they're built on the same platform.

Too much chrome for my taste but it gives you an idea of how it will look

Thanks for the feedback. It sounds like the Oem runflats are a huge detriment. Can’t wait to try out some different tires to see how that affects ride quality. Any thoughts about 21”s? My goal with aftermarket wheels would still be to maintain a cushy Lexus ride.

Also, does wheel width affect ride quality as well, ie wider?

I've heard from many people with different cars that swapped out runflats and the ride was smoother and quieter.

It definitely does. Like night and day. I swapped for Yokohama's at 3,000 miles and have never looked back. Just turned 20,000 miles this morning.

Staggered? I’ve been researching with AWD LS 500. They say it causes problems & will destroy the transfer case. Please let me know
