I assume F: +50 R: +50
That low, there were a lot of rubbing and banging noise over road dips involved
Normally (daily driver) I lower it a little over 2", basically the top of the wheels are flush with the fender, so no fender gap at all. It is much much more driveable, around 95% if you are careful and know how to tackle inclines / ramps. The front wheels rub a bit (catch the inner fender lip) if I turn the wheels all the way when taking an incline, so I removed the fender lip liner and had the fender lip rolled; it solved the rubbing problem. No rubbing problem whatsoever in the rear, but I do have a slight negative camber and tire wear is uneven.

Offset wise, I believe F: +37 and R: +37. No rubbing at all in the rear.

The LS and GS are both beautiful cars, done tastefully. And I would love to have your rims for my LS.

You can try "af EXE" (japanese) magazine at any japanese bookstore, or try some of these:
http://www.waldusa.co.jp
http://www.wald-japan.co.jp
http://www.work-wheels.co.jp

These should be a start. Good luck.
