it mostly depends on the wheel spoke design, then it's the width/offset set up. i think if you do it right and get the right wheel, you should be able to get around 4" in the back

that's my take. i have seen something similar done on one on the freeway

I am going with 22x9 and 22x10.5 per Derrick at D2 AUTOSPORT. Since i have the Datasystems air suspension controller he said he didnt want any issues with rubbing. The lip in the rear is going to be 3.5 and the fronts will be 2.5. If you are not going to lower your LS you can get away with a 20x11 with a 295/25-22 in the rear.

the asc should let you set how low you want the car to be.

you can only use the controller if you ALREADY have the air suspension on your ls460l. it's just a controller to "override" the stock air suspension so you can control the ride height

correct, swb does not have air suspension as far as i know (might want to double check your window sticker, i don't pay attention to swb)

if you don't have air suspension, then you either get coilovers (if they come out) or put on air runner (more expensive)
