What size tires were you going with? A lot of great info in the Vossen wheel owners thread!

Some good info on Camber kits here. Seems if the drop is moderate you might not need one. Some people run it anyway. Good luck!

285s on the rear of the IS are nice and fat but might require some fender work, depends on the type/style tire as well. Sounds like you got a good plan going so far.

how is the ride on those and noise wise? my friend had same tires on his IS, for some reason the steering feel heavy grid at low speed ( like 5MPH) i didn't try to go faster, but after he switch to nitto invo he love them more, it feel lighter in steering respond that what he told.
