Welcome Bee!
Take a few pics from front to back and back to front so we can see the how far the wheels are actually sticking out. Might want to use something other than a cell cam to get some clear photos... They do look OK but it is hard to tell from the photos you posted.
BTW nice car
What brand of wheels are they?

Assuming the wheels were built for a BMW 7 series, they are sticking out on the ls460 due to the lower wheel offsets that the 7 series can accommodate versus our cars (without any modification to the fender lips, etc.)

My wheels are from my previous 7 series (02 745i). They are 20's though. The offset is not an issue. I was shocked when the setup worked after my tire guy was convinced it wouldn't. They mounted them and tested for rubbing. I was prepared to sell them and get something else, but no need!

agreed the drop will bring it in on the top and clear the wheel well, I would get coils though a little unsure with drop springs to get it at the right height where you are not rubbing.
