No - they actually have a fender rolling guy going around and rolling fenders . Too bad lexus doesn't have the same guy.

People don't have to roll fenders to fit their wheels, just run a smaller width tire. EX: 235 on a 10'' wide wheel, 215 on a 9'' wheel.

What maybe considered minor to some maybe considered major to others. It's just preference. Many here own brand new Lexus's and don't want to risk cracking their paint or stretching tires and risk rim damage.

I'm not into the stretched tire look. It works for a-lot of people but not me. I prefer to have agressive offsets with big meats. The only time I would run a stretched setup is for less sidewalk flex.

You know what is interesting. You could take your reply and simply change it up a little to read like this:

"I'm not into the agressive offset look. It works for a lot of people but not me. I prefer stretched tires with thin sidealls."
