Yea 22's will fit, however they're gonna look weird if not lowered. Thats why I went on bags and a kit cause with out them, the car can look donked out (depending on what type rims you get) I dont recommend the rims that are solid (like a plate) because of their massive size, you dont need an extravagant looking rim to bring attention, the size alone will do that. Thats why I went with the 22's that I did cause they are spokes so it looks much better however, I also recommend a BBK kit to fill in the cavity it creates also, with a 300 there shouldnt be any gap, but with a 400 or 430 you will have a gap between fender and tire because they have a higher stance:

Dumped





Better view of height





No body kit no bags, but front had a 1" spacer on the spring to raise it! didnt even know. This is probably what a 400 will look like. When I removed the spacer, it was a perfect drop up front, no rub:



Heres what height is without drop




I will tell you though that you will be very limited to what tires you can use (unless you stretch them) Tires were rubbing on the steering knuckle and I had to grind it down VERY little and put 10mm spacers to clear it. Pirelli P-Zero's fit just great cause they dont have a lot of 'meat' on the edges

hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions cause I've ran across any problems I could have

Heres pic of front spacer removed, so stock height. The rear still has spacer on it, so actually you'll be tucking a little bit of tire in the rear (no rubbing, depending on what tire you get. I use 245/30)

I dont drive like a moron! Not to mention my 22's weigh less than my 20's

Mr Jokster, You're the man! Thanks for your input & the some... People dont realise tht, when you're sitting on 22 or bigger you cant drive like a maniac. Its not meant for speed but cruise & show off the beauty of your wip. specially Lexus!
on the real though Jokster, your ride is Nice! you're sitting sweet, classic, not too much or too little but just perfect. the rims & the kits goes well...

Keep it rollin sweet
