I'm not saying everyone needs to roll super wide wheels w/ the more insane offset possible and needing to pull the fender, run a super streched tire and massive negative camber to fit the wheel.
A simple rolling of the fender and a much lower agressive offset and not as fat of a tire for clerance gives a car a night and day difference of appearance.

don't fight it, just accept it
oh and his car does matter- he proves to alot of people that wheel fittment and the correct drop does wonders- (even though he has a kit) his wheel fittment sets it apart from most cars in the US.
Its a shame that the 240 crowd seems to understand wheel fittment more than alot of the Lexus guys.

Let's just say flushed to the fender, big lip, slight drop, no stretched tyres and no rolled fenders.
Not that I need it, mine are fine. I am just curious what he recommends.
You can't go all crazy over here (UK) with seriously dropped rides. The only thing you will end up slamming is yourself and your car to bits. The roads are crap, It is not like Cali, the roads there are like glass compared to here. I know I lived in Laguna Beach for a few years.

You want flush wheels but you don't want streched tires or to roll your fenders.
Oh looks liike you can't have "biglip either" because in order to get big lip you are going to need some low agressive offset but then again you don't wanna roll your fender or run the required tire to make it happen.

Sorry but I don't get what you are saying....
My set-up sits flush and I have big lip and my tyres are not stretched. I do not have to run some low aggressive offset.

Well here ya go, taken in some rare English sunshine 
http://www.toyotaimportsforum.co.uk/...&threadid=6146
The airsus is slammed and it throws out the camber at the back, on normal ride height they all sit nice and flush with the arches. Also the design of the rims means I shouldn't have any problems with installing my supra big brake upgrade in a few weeks time.
I honestly thought the ride on 19s, and with this offset, (+35) would be ***** but its actually damn good and better than expected. Hope you like the pics!
