POST PICS OF 20's on your LS430

Finally got around to test fitting my 20x8.5(35) 20x10(43) Giovannas
'03 LS430 UL
Factory Air: I shaved the sensor bolts to get lower but need to take off more to achieve the stance I want. I only took a little off at first to try it.
I am absolutely in love with this tire-rim combo. The stretch came out exactly as I wanted (after countless hours of research on different tires and how they're gonna stretch)!
I test fitted the back and front on different days so I don't have a pic with both on at the same time.
The OEM front lug studs weren't long enough to fit the rim with the spacer I wanted to put on it so I had an adapter type, billet spacer (with studs in/on it) sitting around so I threw that on it. It came out with a little too much poke for me. I could probably work with it if I wanted to do some fender work but I'm trying to avoid that right now. It's my daily and also I have a little Rug-Rat on the way so I can't start any new projects.
Some of the pictures are deceiving. It's hard to perceive depth to be able to tell how much it's poking.
The back was alright, although the way it fit I think the fender would have to be shaved. I think I can do that myself. Anyone that's done it before can you give me a 1-10 rating on how hard it is to do that?
Anyways, I screwed up and lost the lug key so now I'm at a standstill until I get a remover that I ordered. Hopefully it works. Last resort, Les Schwab said they'd do it for $15 a lug and fortunately there's only 3 locking lugs for some reason! $45 not bad!
I also ordered some 50mm long lug studs. I'd love to paint the brakes silver and clean up the rotors at the same time as getting the wheels all tuned in but we'll see. The little one will be here any day now.
I'd love to hear any opinions or comments on all this.
I know my taste in wheels is a little bit different than usually seen on here but I love to be a little bit different. Also, I can't afford to spend $5000 on a wheel setup just to eventually ruin them cuz of my daily driving.
Someday when I can afford to have a nicer car that I don't have to drive every day, that's when I'll start saving up for some fattys!
Later guys!

Test fitted some Auto Couture Magnifique. Fronts don't clear BBK, and rears sit on the tire. Not sure if I wanna keep these. Gotta add spacers in front. and maybe a little camber in the rear to let it sit where i want.

Note: The front will be 20x9.
Thanks for any feedback!
