Default Bigger wheels for LS460 Sport?

Tire Rack, as well as most other wheel vendors DO NOT list the LS460 Sport!
As it has the BIG brakes from Brimbo I don't want to assume the wheels listed
for the LS460 will fit. The factory BBS wheels are very nice, but too narrow
for "canyon carving" in the open areas of Nevada. I want to install wider
tires, but need wheels!(19x8.5 & 19x9.5).

switch to a 22" or even a 21". I am currently running a 245/30/22 and a 295/25/22 and love the look . I would never call the LS a canyon carver though, but I dont have the sport. What I think the LS could use more than anything is a FAT set of sway bars. It would reduce roll and would not affect the ride at all. I now F sport will never dress up the LS

Tom's has made suspension parts for years now for it.....



The brakes are the same ones on the IS F...so you can check the IS F forum for offset info etc...though the biggest wheels there will be 20"....

ive been looking for a nice set of 19"s for my ls also... i came across thease (pic is in 22 i believe) but are also available in 19x8.5 19x10.. spoke to the vendor and the wheels can be custom drilled to any offset of my choosing and best of all no issues at all with brembo brakes!

I dont know how much aftermarket support there is for the ls460 but bracing is bracing and sways are sways, I am thinking coilovers and bracing will stiffing her up a little.

I agree lextrician, but if you buy a pig, and it turns out to be a chicken, are you gonna try to return it to the farmer?

Should be more of a straight forward set up, not more **** to go wrong!

I have the Front strut bar, the lower rear and the lower front. I'd like to get the rest of the pieces and if they have sway bars I'd like to get them too someday.

I personally think 22's are just right for these big cars. Here is a couple examples of them on our wheels.

I have a set of Zone 1 3 piece 20" wheels and michelin pilot sport a/s from my 07 LS460L that I'm looking to get rid of - they are 20x8.5 & 20x10 with brushed aluminum face and polished lip. PM me if you would be interested.
