Default 20" vs. 21" vs. 22" & LS460 Ride Quality

Has anyone ridden been able to compare ride quality between LS460's with 20" wheels vs an LS with 21" wheels and with the big bad 22" wheels?

How much does ride quality suffer when going all the way to 22's? I can measure effect of wheel size on the look that it gives the car, but has anyone ridden in all three configurations - and how does the wheel size affect the ride quality?

Thanks.

Yes, SWB. Has anyone tried 21's? Are they compromise to harsh 22" ride?

Well I would say for impressions on 22's send a PM to alsilverbullet, he has rode on 22's without the lowering and 22's with. For your impressions on 20's, if you get the right tires it should be fairly close to stock as you will be able to run tires with a taller side wall.

Either way 21's are a great balance btwn the two but there are less more expensive wheel choices in the 21" size. Let us know your findings from your research.

With 22"s, wouldn't the ride quality suffer because of the thinner tires?

Is your car lowered or do you plan on lowering it?

You say close to stock with 20s. Is this based on personal experience. I was thinking about going to 20s but am hesitant because of the possible loss in ride quality.

Thanks

21 inch , you limited on brand and size but the tires prices of the 21 inch has come down a bit, as for the 22" You have more selection on brand and sizes.
