you can get 19s to fit with a little fender mod

some people fit 20s on the is3, but that's with tons of fender mods

20s in the back only. don't think it'll work in the front no matter what, unless you're not going to lower it

Default 19'S

I would say 19's for %98 of the population and 20's for the few nutz who are willing to do anything to get 20's o the car.

I've only seen one wheel on an IS in 20's that looks good, all other wheels make the car look like a truck.

This car is roll'n on 20's

the offset requirement on the is3 prevent it from having deep lip. the tight wheel well prevent it from having 10.5
