Default Pic Request 20's and No drop!

Sooo I live in Buffalo NY and Im about to buy an IS 250 awd. I have 20" rims from my previous car but everyone seems to have their cars lowered on either 19's or 20's. My question is what does the IS look like with 20" rims and the factory suspension? With winter being as long and rough as it is I dont see much sense in lowering my car since my 20" rims are only on for half the year and the other half im driving in horrible conditions.

The tires I have on now are 245/35/20 but I realize im going to have to put on either 225/30/20 or 235/30/20 tires to work with the IS Ive done my share of searches. I just dont see anyone posting pics on 20's with no drop I was just wondering how bad it really looked....

If you get 20's on your car, the car will most likely rise (depending on the tires). so if you lower it, it will go back to stock height but with much less fender gap and better looking.
For example: with my aftermarket wheels my car rose one inch, I lowered it with eibachs and it went down an inch. so now its at exactly the same stock height and the car looks lower, even though its not,
I dont know if you can tell, but I am trying to convince you to lower your car. LOL
