Default Question for wheel gurus

Hello all

I have recently bought a new to me 13 ls 460 and was looking for wheel size suggestion. The car will be bagged and currently looking at two wheel options.

First wheel specs: Front 21 x 9 +28 high disk
Rear 21 x 10 +37 low disc

Second wheel specs: 20x9 +19 and 20x11 +30

I wanted to see which one of these options will need least amount of work since I don't want the setup to be too aggressive or too conservative.

Thanks in advance

First option will fit like a glove, and there is a set of Kranz Magis here in the classified with exactly those specs (you must be looking at them). The second set is pretty aggressive and would require fender modifications.

It's a nice set of wheels. I almost bought them but decided to stay with my custom built Forged one piece 20's.

You can go 21x10.5 all around.That what I did. The reason to go 10.5 all around is because tires 21" cost more than 20 or 22. Having the same tire size all around is better for tire rotation.

What about 20×9.5 +20mm 5×120 / 20×10.5 +20mm? How aggressive of a fitment is that?

That's aggressive. There is a wheel and tire thread here. Good idea to look at it and see the offsets people are running.

Not many 13+ LS's and pretty much none i think 20 or 21's unless entire 4th gen would have the same fitment specs?

Yikes, you weren't kidding. In fact options for 21" wheels are very small. Explains why everyone either runs 20" or 22". 21" does sound like it would be the perfect size for the LS though.

So looks like in order to clear the brakes, I need a 5mm spacer. With the spacer, the lug nuts won't secure properly so I will need extended studs.
Still looking for the studs but came across these ET nuts. Wanted to see if anyone used these? Or know if this would work/secure the wheels?

What wheels are you buying that won't clear the brakes? A 5mm spacer shouldn't require longer studs.
