hello- someone already beat me to it, but yes indeen the lawson rims do not fit the Giardinelli C8/10. Lawson does make a rim very similar, called the "reverse peak" or B23 model. He offers it four inner-diameter sizes sizes 600, 650 for the s660; 700 and 750 for the s670. I play the 700, which is a bit wider than the Girdinelli, so you might want to start with the 650 or 600. It seems that people who like the reverse-peak style rims live by them and others hate them. I severly hurt myself on the Giardinelli stock rim (that was years ago when i was using way too much pressure thought) and I still can't stand to play that style rim, but that is just me. Also, I would check out Moosewood, the website is http://www.hornmouthpiece.com/, and he might be able to make you a copied rim with the Lawson threads, but that might be expensive and would probably take a long while and a lot of mailing stuff back and forth.
I wish you good luck getting the leaking under control. Please let us know how that works out, so we can learn more about the problem, symptoms, and fixes.
