These matte black 20" HF-5 wrapped in Michellin AS4 are meant for my winter wheels. However, I like the look so much that I may keep them on a little longer. I think Vossen really nail the fitment in Lexus. My LC is stock.
Just a note here. I actually don't drive the LC in the winter. Lol. I only move it out of the garage to get stuff moving and left it out so I can enjoy the view of it. This is also the reason why I'm not too much in a rush to put back the stock bespoke summer wheels. I've barely put 500miles on these wheels and want to wear them out a bit more.
The sidewall is massive lol. I honestly think the 21" would look better. But it's very hard to find tires for 21" unless they're summer tires.

these look really good. I like the giant sidewall look and i think it fits the beefy lc 500 look. Yea i got annoyed shopping for 21" tires so I'm sizing down.

The rear wheels move 2° max. on the LC.

Vossen and wheel companies don't like providing the offsets until a deposit or order is placed. But fitment is always nice.

We're a Vossen dealer, we can get you taken care of! Plenty of Vossens done for LC members in here.

For me, I don't have rear wheel steering, so can't comment about rubbing during turns.

Update Ordered the Vossen HF-5 Front 21x 9.5x21 +7
Rear 21x11x21 +18
Brian at Vossen was outstanding with his communication and the above are his recomendation's on 255 40 21 and 295 35 21 Pilot PS4
He also said they might do a few minor adjustments to keep the new wheels and tires "flush" with fender's
It might take a few weeks, but will post before and after pics.

They're afraid other wheel companies will steal their offsets when they invested their time to R&D the fitment.

Do you have more photos? Perhaps a full car shot? Looking to do something similar to my LC.

PVD, sorry should have said that.
Barrels definitely got done! I HATED the fact that the stock ones were unfinished. Ceramic coated the inside and out before I put them on so they'll clean up nicely.

You're probably looking at the same cost as a set of tires (they don't publicly list prices so I don't want to step on their toes and give what I paid). The place I worked with is local so I didn't have to worry about shipping them anywhere. https://wheelcraft.com/

Icy B take Barnco to private messaging and give him an Idea of the cost on the QT so he doesn't get taken up the ladder. Nice of you.

sorry for the noob question but i'm new to buying aftermarket wheels.

I'm looking at 20x10 +45 for the rears. Is that too much of an offset?
