sorry to say this jt2ma71, but it doesn't look good on the is... tires pushing out too much reminded me of the pinto...put it on your supra and get another set...might look better with lowering spring, I don't know....

One of my favorite wheels but a bit meaty looking on your IS, they'll probably look better on the Supra. Now if they were 19s with lower profile tires it would be a different story. Not sure if lowering will fix that since it is a 10" wheel with a low offset...

looks like a camry with one of those packages...u know what i mean? theres a camry 3 doors down from my house that looks identical to that. aside from the fact that they're not flush, they're not the right wheel for the is...as previously stated, maybe if they were 19s, with lower profile tires

It would probably look better if it was higher offset and using a 265/35R18 instead of the 40-series. Those are Porsche Cayman tire sizes you've got on there and it would onlyl look right on meaty sports cars.

JT2MA71,
Those wheels/tires do not work on the car. A good deal is not worth a horrible fitment. I'm pretty sure you see how unnattracive it is because you're asking for opinions. The offsets are way too low too. Sell em, buy something that fits better.

You just need to go with narrower(stretched) tires and then they would defitnley have that vip look.

Thanks guys. I knew there will be more negative comments I will test fit them on my Supra tomorrow and I'll go from there. I thought the 265 will be stretched on the 10" but I based that on my other set of wheels with same width but have 285's.

245/40/18 will be good on18x10
and 215/40/18 on 18x8.5 , in that case you will make the car totally different

sorry to say it blunt, but it looks like crap. take them off before you hit a big bump and ruin all your fender wells.

JT2MA71,
It'll look nice once you put on stretched tires and lower the suspension. You'll probably need some minor fender work.

2IS crowd is very conservative. You'll get better responses from GS and SC crowd. They're more into VIP/Exe look.

If you follow through on this project, I think your car will look great.
