I agree, 20"s can be done but I think 19"s are perfect for the IS.

19s are to big and weigh too much. Go with 18's and not ADR's, or Motegi's please. You have a 20k car you can afford a set of nice rims!!!!!

So you are saying narrow width is associated with low quality???

no, but I'm saying that someone might have cheaped out when purchasing wheels, and gotten a fitment that is not quite so right for their vehicle... 7.5 is wider than stock, yes, but 8" would be so much better, and on top of that, staggered 8" front, 9 or 10" rear would be better still...
18x7.5 is a cheap wheel size to buy as it fits almost anything with a high offset...

Slap some 24's on it, they'll fit.

19s don't mean heavy. a nice set of 19s forged can be lighter than a set of 18s cast

umm just because its bigger doesnt mean its heavier. and if it is heavier and slows u down... turn up the boost.
