Default My IS300 on 20" Dub Big Homies *big pics*

Well I finally fit on 20's. I was originally going to go with TIS 07's (bad choice, didnt look good when we test fitted them) hence the name SaskTIS300........ My new choice is 20" Dub Big Homie 5 spokes. Other mods include TRD Suspension, TRD Brakes, M3 Spoiler, and a few peices from greddy and injen under the hood (nothing major) . My next plans are the Kaminari Lip kit (minus the spoilers) Here are my pics! What do you think?

Looking pretty good there. Are you going to flare the front fenders so you can eliminate some of the negative camber? 20's aren't cheap to put rubber on.

Actually pretty cheap when you deal direct through our shop! Our Nitto distibutor was good to me. As well, MHT wheels gave me an insane deal. But I do plan on getting the fenders rolled, My buddy at another shop has a fender roller, then I will get it straightend up. My wheels have only been on for 8 days. Im just glad to get my Eagle Alloy winter tires off!!!!

I have some rubbing in the front when I hit bigger bumps (Saskatchewan Roads are terrible! haha) I have not noticed a gas milage change yet, but I drive pretty cautiously. This tank is going about how the others have gone. I'm definatly loving it though! I have it parked infront of our shop and im always getting positive comments on it.

That actually looks pretty good. I never thought 20's would look good on an IS but you pulled it off. Be sure to post more pics once you get that kaminari lip on. What sides and/or rear are you planning on getting?

I never thought that 20's would look good on a 1st Gen Is but you did a good job with wheel selection and fitment.. It really turned out well.. Congrats bro.
