DOod, check out my pic's on page 2. That's with my ride at 25" to fender. The axle's are stretched, with 23" the angle is even more aggressive. I noticed a little bit leaking out of my boots when I was 24.5" or so, so I raised it back up and its been ok at 25". Let us know what Lexus says, but I bet its bc ur dropped too aggressively. I suspect same may happen with OP, keep an eye on it.

ahhh... such a trade off... it's sad. I'll keep an eye on mine. I had my fenders rolled last night, so I would hate it if I have to raise the car. The back wheels sit completely flush with the fenders, it's sick. Tonight I have to figure out the situation with the fronts and we'll go from there. Maybe I'll raise it up a tiny bit. This really kills me.

I've decided to go with 215/35 and 235/35... they're a little off (by ~2%) but it's the closest I could get to with my aggressive offset. Which means, the pictures are pushed back a week or so :/
