I love the look of the wheels but they stick out way to far for my taste.

Congrats on getting an LS460! I actually like the 18" Teleios alloy wheels - I seen someone had them on a Flint Mica LS430 yesterday - and it looked really good.

Does that (IMO) extreme rear tire fitment compromise the tire sidewall over time?

Thanks guy I know it would be either love or hate since the rear is alittle aggressive. I had to raise the car up 1" in the rear to be able to drive but I'm planning on rolling and pulling in the mean before I get the LS460

dude, that looks like it doesn't quite tuck

sorta looks like it may rub a little,, better yet, may crash a little. if you can shave and pull it enough to be able to tuck you may have one of my new fav setups,, but that is a big if cuz you may need some rear fender work if you can't pull it out that far. but seriously though you should try to get it to tuck and then your shiz would be sick... nice lookin wheels, now just tuck em in and it'll be a wrap.

im waiting on Waijai for the answer on the rear camber kit If the company he's dealing with cant produce any then im going to go with the stock oem arm for the extra 5mm and mill down the back of the rim another 5mm plus the roll and pull it'll tuck

Like that wheel style.
The rear is quite aggressive to the front.
