Default 19" on stock spring and shock

Do you guys think 19" would be ok in term of looks and not look like a truck on our 3IS?

Here are my 19's at stock height. The front is jacked up on the other side, thats why it looks so high. Considering RSR downs.

TBH, i think the car sits pretty high, even on stock rims. Wished Lexus would learn something from their German competitors and reduce the wheel gap, at least on their Sport packages. One of the main reasons why i miss driving a German car.

Hey "Nick319 " the Stance SC-5 look very nice on your white IS....!

19's do look good on these IS not to mention you get to keep some tire on there...

Stock height w/optional 19" f-sport rims. I think it sits perfect for Oklahoma roads
