Taken a little while but I found and ordered some wheels that I like, now they are on the car here are some pics!
BC forged RZ15, in brushed bronze.
19x9 +35 245/35r19
19x10 +45 275/30r19
Lowered on Tanabes with no scrubbing anywhere, not even full lock.
Very happy with the look and the performance, goodbye horrible understeer.

NIce wheels.. The multi-spoke in 19 gives a fuller face. While 20's, depending on the design can look too large and same could be said for 19s, the design can make the wheel look too small. But this is perfect.

Can you provide side profile pics?
Hey, thanks mate. Yeah im very happy with this look, there is a 20 spoke version but its a little too much imo.
20s are too much for me to daily drive, I like to have some sidewall and I didn't want to stretch the tyres much, but I felt the 18s look a little small. 19s perfect.
Yeah here is a pic so you can see the poke. There is a couple more pictures on the build page as well. 3mm spacer on front and back would probably fill it out perfectly but you'd probably get some rubbing which i dont want.
I do not have the adjustable rear camber arms either, so this is factory camber on the lower car.

[/QUOTE I agree 100%. Especially with BC Forged costing a pretty penny, having it sit just right without any rubbing is always a challenge. I don't think spacers are necessary either and it's perfect fitment. Flush is so much cleaner than poke
So I'm back to researching wheels for my own application - was this 19x9 +38 with a 10mm spacer in the front? How bad is the rubbing on the fender/liner?
If so, I have my eye on a set of 19x9 +30 wheels that might fit the bill for me, using 235/40R19s.

What drop are you going with? The one you quoted is running 19x9 +28 in that pic. My fitment spreadsheet says 19x9 +30 is 27.7mm more poke than stock (front), and fits "very flush" lowered with 245/40r19 (probably some minor rub.)
Meanwhile, 19x9 +32 (and 20x9 +32) are just two mm more inboard and are common with the Vossen-equipped cars up to 245/35r20.
So it may require a bit of massaging to go 19x9 +30.

yes you are correct. With the 10mm spacer I believe it brings offset to +28.
rubbing will depend on how low you are, I think I was dropped 1.5 all around and did get some rubbing on bumps and aggressive turns. There is a tab on the fender well that is known to be the culprit in these Lexus’. However I did end up raising the car .5” and getting the fenders rolled and that tab removed. Haven’t had rubbing issues since but is a little high for my eyes, but making height adjustments with coils on the 4GS is a huge pita so I’m enjoying not having to drive so carefully like a slammed car.

Thanks folks. I went with 19x9 +34 with OEM sized 235/40/19. My drop is essentially RSR Super Down front, RSR Down rear. The car is a daily driver and has to deal with speed bumps and bad roads.
