My rims =/

Dj Rando, If I put 20s on my IS, would I still need to drop it? I'd rather keep the suspension stock if it's going to rub. I have a RWD, non-sports package, w/18" stock wheels. How does it look with 20s on stock suspension?
Serious Tuning.

rando my tires are 245 30 20 in the back and 225 30 in the fronts but my rims are a little wider than stocks so thats why the tires stretch a little..but fairly even in the front and back was hard to figure out what tires were gonna stretch the same since different widths on the front and back.

Just get the eibachs, and be ready for some rubbing. If you have someone with a lift you can pretty much get rid of all the rubbing nonsense with taking the wheels off and either rolling the metal that it is rubbing on, or just heating up the plastic in the wheel well and forming it to the way that it does not rub.
But definatly looks better lowered.
