Ooof easy fix, camber kit helps when you've lowered it but rolling fender big help. Chill with it for now and don't cut into your tires bro

What size tires do you have? Do you have? Do you know the offsets? You may need to pull the fenders too since they'd so wide.

^^ What this man said. What are the wheels specs... because from experience unless you have adjustable camber etc. (fender pull) a 19x10 is pretty large to fit on a lowered IS with no fender or adjustment work.

So it sounds like you should wait to put the wheels on till you take it to the body shop to prevent further damage. The body shop should roll and pull and sounds like widen what they need to. You'll ne alright as long as you bring the $$$$. Let us know how it looks when all done.
