Your question doesn't make sense. Do you want pics of lowered IS300's with 17" wheels, wheels with +17 offset, 17" wheels w/+17 offset? You do realize that the width of the rim will affect what it will look like and how it will fit...Aka a 17x8 +25 vs 17x10 +25 will be a night and day difference. If you're not looking to stretch tire, then you'll want a weaker offset wheel +40's to +50.

I've done nothing but research this topic for 2weeks lol I just need to see real world pics not just figure it up on paper. I do realize that width make a big diff also. Im just trying to figure what set up I should run while keepi g the 17" size of the wheel. I'm lowered on h&r springs. Thanks so much guys!
Ricer? Lol I'm pretty sure I don't have a 15" aluminum wing or 22" spinners lol

Just trying to get rid of the void space

I'm currently on ksports. Not sure about how low I am. It been a while since I touch the height. I believe that back is at a 2-2 1/2 drop and and the front is probably at 3". Yeah I'm prett good when it comes to tires. The thing about running 17's you can lower your car even more. But 18's isn't so bad neither.
