I'm Running 20's 20x8f & 20x10 R With 245/30 And 285/25 Lowered 2-1/4" On Jic Vip Coilovers... Ride Is Smooth... And Drop Is Perfect.. Front Wheels Tuck A Little And Rear Almost... Drop Is As Nice As It Gets And So Is Ride... Just My $.02... In My Opinion 22's Are A Little Too Big.. But Who Am I To Decide What's To Big On Someone Elses Ride... It's All Just Our Opinions....

Only advantage I can think of for putting 22's on a car is that you can keep your car's mileage low. Those 22's are probably giving you a pretty decent speedo error so if you're leasing get some 22's and cheat the car companies (their speedos have been off (in their favor) for years)! 
For the sake of appearances I also side with 20's for this specific car. I think it looks just as good (or better?) than 22's but doesn't require as much work to achieve an improved look...

What type of rims are those, and how far did you drop the car?
Thanks
Thanks
D2Autosports sold me the rims, and the tires are Toyo Proxy's ( 30 series in front / 25 series in rear )

the rims are the tis 07 and the tires are 245/30/22 all the way around. i didnt drop the car at all, the rims just fill up the wheel well nicely. if anything my car sits higher than it did wit hthe stocks. suprisingly it only rubs if i turn my steering wheel all the way and speed up too fast on sharp turns. other than that there is little rubbing and the ride is not bad either. with the rims the car seems more stable and you do feel the road a bit more. only negative is with a 30 series tire you have to be careful on any bumps in the road.
here is another pic, not too great of a pic. i took these the first day i put the wheels on and have been too lasy to get my camera out and take some nice pics at nice angles.

Just like TV's, a 60-inch plasma in a small bathroom is too big. As mentioned earlier in this post you have to do everything in moderation. The 22's with the big gap in the wheel well look too big especially when you have ground clearance from the bottom side skirt to the floor calling out for Noah and his Ark. I vote for 20's if you don't want to go to low and 22's if you're willing to lay it out.

ok... here's what I think about those who feel there's never too big, and big is always better.....
I see a homeless man shelter on wheels right here... you park outside, and now people have enough room to sleep under your car.....
I took this picture up on the Northside near Acres Homes.... no class... and makin' a Lexus sit 40ft off tha ground is just plain ghetto... the white GS with the drop on 22's... I could see that, even though I wouldn't do it... but to each his own....

I live in Florida nd I have never heard the term "donkin".What the hell are you talking about?? A "donk" is a 71-76 chevy caprice or impala..Where does a lexus fit into this category??
