if you plan on buyin 18" wheels and use your oem tires, it will look WEAK and wont turn any heads either on the road
stick with 19's , maybe look on craigslist in the wheel section for a used set with tires or look here in our wheels & tires classifieds

wheels look good man. Id say get em, y not? you can prob rock them and still sell them and prob not even loose much money. I had some 19x8.5 +40 in the front and it cleared my 350 brakes. You should be good. good luck

For tires there are a number of vehicles that run factory tires sized 255/35/19s so you can find good condition used ones for cheap, and a 215-225/35/19 isn't too expensive to pick up new. That's what I did for my new wheels and I spent right around 400 and the rears still have 65-70% tread.

hell yeah!! I would get them.. they're a little too conservative for my taste but they're really nice.
I think it'll look good on an IS, It'll clear the brakes with no problem. You shouldn't need fender mods either. It can look good for sure

Very clean design and good looking wheel! You could probably throw some spacers behind them and get them to sit flush, they should look great! Great price too! 
And you can find deals on 19" tires too, they're not that uncommon of a size nowadays, considering that many OEM cars come with 19's...

getting 18's will not look nice on your car unless its a really agressive fitment
if you plan on buyin 18" wheels and use your oem tires, it will look WEAK and wont turn any heads either on the road
stick with 19's , maybe look on craigslist in the wheel section for a used set with tires or look here in our wheels & tires classifieds

I actually have those 19" wheels on my car. The guy who sells them is very cool and if you live in socal I might even deliver them to you. I have the 19" in a matte black. The wheels fit great and the car runs very smooth.
