EV ftw!!!
Wheels look fantastic, Derrick! 
The huge lips look awesome! 
I just don't like the overall look of these wheels on the LS without the drop.

Ok D2 Autosport now we're talking. Those 20s do not look too pimpy for my taste and I am in the same boat as your customer there. I have to haul VIP customers around and 22s would be just plain stupid not only on the looks but on the comfort of the ride and safety of the wheels over bumps (not enough side wall).
Now, I can't really tell on those pics if the wheels kinda stick out in relation to the tires or not. I mean, it's always nice when the edge of the wheel is inside of the tire a few fractions of an inch - not only makes the car look beefy but also protects the wheel from hitting the curb before the tire does, if that ever happens.

Just to make my above post clear, my question is if you can make the wheels be wrapped by the tires this way like on this WS6 - note that the tire is just a tad wider than the wheel. This WS6 BTW has 11" wheels and 315/35/17 tires at the back.

I kwow exactly what you are making reference to. Its hard to get the guys to understand that there are different levels of modding (some more moderate). Everyone doesnt want to take it "to the max" lol.
Also as for your question, the wheel sits somewhat inside, but moreover the protection on this application comes from the sidewall height.

They're made by TOM'S and the model is called the VP-8.
Here's a link to their specs

Do you have a close up pic of that LS-460's rear wheel/tire ?
