Yes, some have fitted. It looks ridiculous.

yeah there are couple guys with 20s on the IS. very hard to fit, a lot of fender mods just to make it don't rub. and it looks pretty stupid.

Yes, I agree. 20's are too much on an IS on anything but glass-smooth roads, especially with lowered suspension kits, air dams, cladding, etc..., no to mention the possible speedometer and odometer errors.

Also depends on where you are in the country. Generally, the farther south you go, the smoother the roads get. What will work fine in FL, TX, or SoCAL with nice, smooth roads, would be a disaster in the cities of the Northeast or in the Snowbelt areas like northern OH, PA, MI, WI, etc......

even if you mod the fender the car would still look stupid coz' i think the wheels are too big

there was one around tampa that has the LSportline 20in Model 4s. But it looked too tight. 19's look better IMO.
