If it's too big maybe I'll just pull my fender a little more or get smaller spacers... who knows...

trial and error

You should determine your rim size by how low you want to go, road conditions in your area, and what kind of rubber you want on your car. If you want to slam your car out & have some beefy tires then get 18's because it's not as easy to do on 19's and on 19's you need thinner tires which isn't great for crappy roads..
did you just go to a body shop2 roll ur fenders and pull them out?? what size tires r u running on ur 19x9.5's?? i have an LS1 in my 2002 IS and need a wide tire out back but want that hella flush look at the samem time!

You have a LS1 in your IS300?
Take a pic I gotta see this!!!

Yep body shop rolled fenders and pulled them out, he charged me $140 for all 4 corners
It's not the best looking quality but no one is going around looking at my fenders....
Bottom line.. at least my tires don't rub!!

on my 19x9.5 rims I have 235/35zr19
fits great in the rear, haven't tried it up front yet.

Nice!

Yeah the 235's are stretched but it doesn't look too wild or anything
It's a pretty safe stretch, it took the guy an hour to put the tire on each wheel though, and the guy was telling me how the machine is top of the line and they can mount up to 30" rims without touching the face of the rim.. so hehe yeah rear is chargespeed

I'm not the first

If I remember I'll take a picture of the stretch
It's not too crazy but can definitely tell that it's stretched.
