Default MY GS on 20's w/ tires tucked but looks funny?

Sup guys. After about 5 years, I am finally back in a Lexus. Picked this up 02 a few weeks back. Just got these 20" Work Euroline SL's off fellow CL member kiet... The wheels looked small on his Infiniti but when I put them on my GS, they look freakin huge.

This is my work vehicle/daily driver and I drive through some crappy industrial area's so going lower by adjusting the coils or a lip kit is a nono...

Here is a pic right after I got the fenders rolled/rears cut. Yes it rained for awhile here in So.CAL. Nice and dirty w/ ****ty phone camera.

Does it look weird to you guys? Should I go with 19's instead?

Looks good the way it is. Doesn't look weird. With 20s, a kit will make it look better. I was looking into getting this wheels too but wanted a bigger lip.

I've always thought that 20's were to big for the GS but those SL's are one of my favorite wheels so I'm torn. I know thats no help.

Thanks again.

Tires are 245/35/20 & 255/35/20... Nice fat setup. It absorbs railroad tracks pretty well.
