Default 18" vs. 19" -- photo request

I had expected someone else to have asked this, but in the two pages of this section I didn't see it... I'd like to see 19" wheels on IS300's, so if you have pics please post them.

Yeah, you won't find much here.....

I think 19's look perfect on an IS3...but if you are not lowered, it does look kinda funky...my opinion

Look here:

Look at the last few pages on this thread...there's some good looking ones.

Go 19"s I thinkg once you go 19" wheels you wont want to go back to 18"s, 19"s pretty much fills in the gap in your fender walls if you aint dropped, and dropped they look even better!

depends....
are you going VIP or performance?


i think 19's are a little too big for handling but they would be awesome as VIP show

since i go drifting and touge i stuck with the 17's so i can just rotate the tires from the show wheels, to daily wheels and drift wheels...it makes it cheaper on buying rubber
but 18s are max i would go since i don't want to rub through corners and since mine is dropped and i wanna go lower

It would likely depend on your offset. I would say the eibach pro kit would be your best solution. And shocks depending on what level of comfort you are looking for. If you want to fit them well I would suggest nothing less than coilovers.
