Default NewBie in need of offset specs for 21" set up

Hello All, I just decided to come aboard to join all the fun. I have a 2007 LS460 and finally decided to purchase wheels.

I need to know the ideal set up for staggered set up, I'm looking at either 20" or 21" Rims. Width 9.5 or 9 in the front and 10.5 in the rear. I am not sure of the offset to order. After hearing and reading all of the post, I don't think I want to do any fender modification. There I need help with the set up of tires and size and offset for my application. Please help!!!

I have 22's and the Air Ride System in my car and I can drive lowered and have no rubbing issues. No fender mods and I love it.

22X9.5 *Front (5" Lip) 245X30X22
22X10.5 Rear (6" Lip) *285X25X22

Thank you guys.... I already have the tein coilovers and I want to get the best offset to accommodate the flush look to the fenders. I will drop it once the wheels are installed. I am leaning towards 21" instead of 20". I don't want the sacrifice on the tires but the 20's might look too small. Lol 1 inch right? Please advise.

do 22's. 21's are to small imho. Also with 22's you will have more tire options

Hey JSTALEX, Did you happen to find out the offsets from your set up? Also would you happen to know the factory rim offset?

Does anyone know when lexus started to put bluetooth audio in the LS460?

I'm looking at my invoice and it shows "120+40mm"

Sorry it took so long. If you have any more questions about my offset, I'm sure you can call Greg at Industrial Motoring and he will give you the needed info.

No problem bro! Just make note that the offset makes a difference with flat face wheels and staggered like mine! This also helps you figure out how much lip you can get out of your wheels!

Good luck!
