The front wheels aren't flush. They're a lot better than most people, but they could go out a little further and make them look even better. I mean he put 20 or 30mm wider fenders on the front for wheels that will fit fine on a stock bodied car, so why not take advantage of that extra space.
You don't know what you're talking about with the camber thing. 240s need camber in the front to handle well especially when lowered. Even though this car isn't that low, it's still probably in a less favorable part of the camber curve which is horrible for too low cars with a macpherson strut setup. So by running more static camber, you will be able to use more of the tire when you're actually driving the car. And running a proper amount of camber will lead to more even tire wear.
