Default wheels fitment? yes, another one.

First off.. I'm on a budget, like I just had a kid a month ago and money is an issue. Saw a cheaper set of wheels on craigslist that are the style I want at an affordable price. Here's the link:

? is do you think these would fit on my 01 is with a 1.4 drop all around? The 60mm center bore is what's throwing me off. I think everything else is easily doable..but I'm new to the stance thing, coming from mustangs where it doesn't take much to get a good look. Appreciate your opinions.

It's doable, but in my opinion 19" wheels are too big on the IS300's. Also, there are much better companies out there than the brand in the CL ad. If you're on a budget and want something reasonably cheap while still remaining reliable check out Enkei RPF1's/or PF01's, MB Battles, XXR 521/or 527, Mustang FR500 reps. Buying used will be cheaper as well, zilvia.net has a lot of wheels going up for sale all the time. Also be sure to take into account that the wheel diameter isn't the only aspect to realize when making decisions about wheel choices. Offset and width are very important to consider. Since you're only moderately lowered an 18" wheel would fit nicely. If you want a "flush" set up I'd suggest staying within the 8" - 9" width and fairly moderate offset within +35 to +40.

If you find yourself free of time, these are some good reads that can help with figuring out what will fit, what modifications are required to make fit, etc.

I appreciate the input. I was thinking I need to stay away from a 19" wheel because my wife will use my car from time to time and she hits speed bumps like they are non existant.

I'll read up on those links. Thanks again!
