Default how big is too big?
Hey Guys...

Just got back from Rotora and I dont like how the wheels look with the spacers on them. So now I am thinking about changing my wheels.....

But rather then stay with 20" I am thinking of going bigger....22"? what do you all think? Any pictures of what 22" would look like on a LS? Or am I just crazy??

given the size of the LS, i havent' seen it but i dont' think anything bigger than 21s are good. even with 21s you have to be really careful

Ray, that will be way too out of spec~ I have seen 22' on bentleys or RRs, looks great on Maybach too.
I know how 22' fit on GS, and tell you what , they look aweful!
Haven't seen 22' on LS tho, very interesting!

if you are really inclined towards 21s (which i am still partially against), i guess you will have to start looking at suv rims

I think they would look like you stole them from an Escalade. Maybe you should get spinners, a large rear spoiler and big exhaust tips. Man, you own a Lexus and it is not a candidate for the Ricer of the Month Award!!!!!

How would putting 22"s on my car make it a "ricer"? Now if I was trying to put on some 15", tin can exhaust and a 747 wing on the car...I would understand.....but come on....VIP!!!!

Bigger is not always better. Maybe you can find some 27" wheels and put a boom box in the trunk, then you would be on your way to Pimp Heaven.

I guess it is just a difference in taste. There are some that LOVE the VIP look and others hate it! And its pretty clear that you are not a VIP fan.

those are 22s? definitely don't look as big as i thought. but i think if anything it only looks good when slammed like that. if you raise it to driving heights, i am not sure if it will look funny
