Default LC818 on a GS400? Pic request or Photoshop

This is kinda a pic request/poll thread. Curious if anyone has the linea corse LC818 on there GS. Wanna get them but realized that they only have the +38 offset for the 19x10 in the Lexus bolt pattern. I wanted the +22 but its only available in the BMW bolt pattern.

So getting to the point does anyone have them on there car, or can someone photoshop them. Also do you think the +38 is concave enough? (they look ok on the is) Or is it worth getting the BMW fitment and using adapters? How much of a difference is there between the +22 and +38 as far as how concave it looks is there? All opinions/comments welcome.

Just to let you know, the concavity is NOT effected by the offset, the face is identical between the +38's and the +22's

So if anything, you can use spacers to space it out if you want to fill out the fender well more, but the face is not going to be changed with a lower offset, so that wouldn't be a concern

I was kinda thinking that but if you think about offset and howit affects lipped rims... So the difference between the 22 and 38 is that the hub part is thicker? Guess I am not really sure how the concavity isn't affected.

That's mainly on multi piece wheels

Not really how it works on 1 piece wheels

Yes, the hub part/mounting pad is thicker
