I saw 22"s on a older LS430 and it didn't look bad. I don't have any pictures though.

22"s suit the LS460L and other long wheel base version cars like the 750LI and S550 better.

Yeah I agree. When guys slam the car on a low hanging body kit the 20"s look small. 21"s and 22"s would look better in those cases.

There is a member on here from Japan and he's got 22"s it looked pretty good. I'll see if I can find his thread.

I really like this one, I really don't think 22's on these cars are donk, unless they are like some cheap chrome 22 ghetto specials.

Forget 22's, it's all bout them 24's! Gotta stay big pimping and put on for your city. On a serious note, 22 is kind of big but some wheels can pull it off. It's your car, so if you are really set on 22's then just do it. We are here just to give advice or opinions. I just went from 19s to 20s on my LS and I think it's just right. But if I got a free set of 22s, I'd rock em lol.

I agree that 20's look betting then 22's. Again, everybody has their own style. One thing to consider is the size of your sidewall at that size of a wheel. The smaller the sidewall the more hard and unforgiving the ride is going to be. It also wears your suspension out sooner.

well I was dead set on getting 20's, ive always rode on 20's even with my SC400, but ive seen a few pics of ls430's on 22's, and with the right set of wheels and the right height, I really like the look.

But then again I have always been a guy that likes BIG wheels.

What do u guys think of that white one I posted? I love it, I think its perfect.

I think the white one looks good. If you threw a nice lip kit on it would be pretty clean.

Never understood the big rim, toy car look. Guess it's a matchbox thing.

Recognize this Pontiac. Look what 22's and a body kit did to this ugly beast.

Body kit? I think they replaced every exterior part on that Asstek. The wheels don't help but take attention off the rest of car.

On the 460 they look great. Especially some Vossons.

The 430 is NOT the 460.
