u need mega arms from figs im about to order mines from figs. Camber is wat helps u wear ur tire evenly. iam sure some 1 well add to this bcuz i dont how to properly explain but the lower u go the more neg camber u well need. when u lower a car the tire tends to tuck into the wheel well. makeing u use only the inside of the tire. ( which is bad and it will make u go through tires quick) u want to fix ur camber before u put ur rims on to avoid a headach of tire wearing unevenly.

It's going to depend on how low u go but if u want the right flush look and drop... Your going to have to do some fender rolling. I honestly am going to run 17x9.75 +25 for the rear and I already am expecting to roll and maybe pull but it all depends on drop and camber. But people who run 17s with low offsets are slammed to the fullest and are cambered which I'm am hoping you are going that route. Tires play a very. It factor too

Start to save for suspension arms and links. I think Figs offers the best products to ensure your "stance" is not just that, but you would still be able to enjoy your ride's full potential of handling.
Coilovers is just the start. Do it right the first time. Figure out what your set-up will be based on your actual purpose as in is this your daily driver, a show car, daily and weekend track car, etc..and prioritize what parts you will need so that when you install your wheels install your coil overs and other suspension parts in one time and then get an alignment.
I am running 225/40 on my 18x8.5 +47 wheels all around . +15 will require roll and pull and modification on your wheel well liners. Expect -2 camber or more and uneven tire wear. I've seen 18x9.5 +22 all around on an IS300 and it has neg cam all around.
I think 215/40 all around would be a tire size you should consider.
I would even commit to buy front and rear sway and shut bars if not also chassis bracing to get the full handling potential of your ride and to compensated for that low stance and neg cam you are aiming for.

Since this is already a wheel thread and I don't really feel like this question deserves a thread of it's own, can you guys tell me if these wheels would fit a stock 2002 is300?

I have 215/45 tires that are pretty much brand new and I would like to swap them over to my new wheels when I get them, would I have to change my tire size to prevent having to roll my fenders? I'm having trouble grasping the concept of wheels and I'm sure I'm missing something totally obvious. Thanks for your help!
