I'm staggered with 9.5s in the rear but a 10 would depend on the offset. There is one person running an 18 x 10 but it's a really aggressive setup and it rubs all the time.

well my friend has some 18x10 and 18x8.5 blitz technospeeds and i was looking into an IS or a GS to fit them on. I am going to buy them off my friend. They fit sung as a bug on his GS but i want to know about the IS. i will try to find out the offset soon!

a couple of other factors that you should look into:
1) as the other guy said, what's the offset..?
2) do you plan on lowering the car and how much..?
most guys who are lowered and go w/ a wide staggered setup in the rear usually do some fender work
good luck..!
