Would a 225/60/17 tire be much of a problem on a 2001 LS430 with a stock tire of 225-55-17?

Why?

It will change your speedometer accuracy, raise the car higher off the ground, change the suspension efficiency and reduce your effective gearing making the car slower. If you must change the tires you should keep the same outside diameter.

Hei jim...

I just went around searching for tires here on Guam and currently out of the stock size tires for the LS. These were the closest that they had available at the moment....I might try getting it at tirerack... but the shipping is going to kill me....
