Default staggered wheels??

i was just a bit curious how many of you guys have droped your IS on some staggered wheels.

if they do fit ..how big can you go 18x10 in the rear???

I'm staggered with 9.5s in the rear but a 10 would depend on the offset. There is one person running an 18 x 10 but it's a really aggressive setup and it rubs all the time.

well my friend has some 18x10 and 18x8.5 blitz technospeeds and i was looking into an IS or a GS to fit them on. I am going to buy them off my friend. They fit sung as a bug on his GS but i want to know about the IS. i will try to find out the offset soon!

a couple of other factors that you should look into:
1) as the other guy said, what's the offset..?
2) do you plan on lowering the car and how much..?
most guys who are lowered and go w/ a wide staggered setup in the rear usually do some fender work
good luck..!
