Apparently H&R has bolt on DRM spacers in 20 and 15 mm for our cars, but it has to be ordered from Germany:
I found an eBay seller in Germany that ships to the US for free: http://stores.ebay.com/TUNERSHOP-GmbH

H&R is stronger/better quality than Ichiba Spacers and these don't require replacing studs!
Also looks like lexus stock wheels have enough backing to clear the nut/stud on the spacer

My 15mm and 20mm Bolt on H&R Spacers came in the mail today. Will update this thread in a few weeks when I install it.
Much easier to install/safer then extended studs, plus the quality of H&R is the best out there!
15 mm left, 20mm right Back of the wheels need enough room to clear the top of the nut on the 15mm spacer Nut on 20mm sits flush

I paid in Euros 252.70 EUR, my credit card didn't have any forengin transaction fee and the conversion to USD was $283.58 for both of them including shipping.
Shipped directly from Germany and the spacers were made January of this year.
H&R doesn't advertise 15 and 20mm bolt on spacers on their website, but I found out they make them with the correct specs for our cars.
The 20MM spacers have a wider base, but the bolt pattern and hub size is to spec. I suppose it's better to have a meatier spacer for the rears.

Nice! I have never run spacers so I'm a little scared of installing them and getting vibrations in the steering wheel after the installation.

If it's hub centric and good quality reliable brand you have nothing to worry about. I installed H&R spacers on my previous car and never had an issue.
You just have to install it correctly(clean hub/rotor mounting surface and apply a little anti seize on the back of the spacer), also torque the bolts down to spec. Then recheck torque after some driving.
Yes it will put more load on the wheel bearings but many people have been running wider tires and lower offsets without any issues. I have never had to replace a wheel bearing on a Japanese car, i'm sure they are designed to handle much more stress.
Yes it will change the suspension geometry, but then again people are running lowering springs and stiffer suspensions so I'm sure the suspension components are more than capable of handling the additional stress.
I think as long as the spacer is less than an inch your not going to notice any real difference in the way the car drivers, so 15 and 20mm should not be very noticeable at all.
As for tire wear, I rotate my tires so I doubt that will ever be an issue.
Not sure, it's that I was thinking of doing this but after reading this I decided to wait. I mean the guy just up it all out there and was food for thought.
I decided to get different rims, the spacers worked great and gives the OEM wheels a perfect flush fit. I wrapped the edge of the spacer in Black vinyl and the spacers have 115 mile of driving on them. I no longer have the original boxes.
I paid $285, If anyone wants these for $200, PM me. My loss is your gain.
