Default IS with RC 19" Wheels?

I've been toying with the idea of getting RC wheels for my IS later on, but wasn't sure about the fitment. Could someone chime in? Searched the forum, but didn't get much info on it. Just wanted to make sure the size and possibly bigger width tires (265) rear.

Made a photoCHOP, not scale btw.

I think the RC350 non F sport wheels would look perfect.

they used a GS front subframe on the RCF because the IS chassis doesnt support wide enough tires. Space is already tight up in the front for the stock IS wheels. Would have to use a big spacers

19x9 and 19x10 I think. RCF runs 255 fronts and 275 rear.

Thanks! 18" on the IS looks a bit un-proportionally small. Maybe it's just me.

I agree, I actually like the stock f sport wheels but if only they made it in 19s..

Having said that the above IS photoshopped with the RC350 F sport wheel looks great lol and it's 19 inch too!! If there are local replicas I might consider !
