.047 to .055??? Wow, those are off by a long shot. Is there a reason why you're using so many additives on a 2 year old vehicle? I mean it is your money but unless you're getting it for free you're throwing it away. Regarding the plugs, they don't look bad at all but if you took them out you might as well replace them, gap them to .030 and run at least 87 RON unleaded. If you want to tow or get max performance out of it use premium unleaded. I have a 12 KR Screw with 35K on the clock and it runs perfectly fine with 87 unleaded. I've never heard a single knock or felt a miss due to the fuel. I did pull and re-gap my plugs as they were between .032 and .045. All of them are down to .030 now.

Use the SCT handheld you loaded your 5* tunes with as a pass through to a Windows laptop running the SCT Live Link software.
OR
You can use the Torque App on an Android phone with a Blue Tooth OBD2 dongle.

Stop using lucas so much, if at all. I wouldn't run it any more often than every oil change. I personally have never had it help any vehicle I've used it in or anyone I've known use it in.
Seafoam, on the other hand, I've seen work. As others have suggested, get on it after using it. I always change the oil after using it, but that's my preference.
Your plugs have the proper gap and do look oily. If you're worried you can close the gap a little more but I doubt that will fix anything. Change the brand of fuel you use and stop using the lucas oil so much.
