If bolt patter is 5 x 114.3 then it should fit. You just need to find out the clearance you have on the calipers, fender wells and suspension.

Not easily.

8.5 +32 is 10mm past the front fenders. You would have to run a 225 and roll the front fenders and HOPE that camber tucks them under. And you'll have to have stiff springs.

10 +26 is 33mm past the rear fenders. You are going to have to roll and pull the rears and run a 225/30/20 tire.

I don't think it is worth it. Unless you are slammed with a lot of negative camber, the wheels are going to stick out ALOT. And it will be ugly.

Look for ill roller. He is running a 10 +25 with a 225 in the rear.

EDIT: This is ill roller's car.

Dont do the 20x10 without fender flares. It wont look right on an IS. And you will rub if you dont run -neg camber
