Scary Scary.

Rear is too big. Front is fine IMO.

One pot hole and your read end is toast though. If it rubs now wait to you hit a good bump.

Folks in general stick with 20" rims on cars as big as the GS, and BMW 5/6 series. Can't imagine 22" wheels on an IS 250. The ride must be very stiff.

I can't for the life of me understand why you would do that on an IS but as long as you're happy...

I bet your wheels are bigger than the ones on that Escalade.

I think it looks nice. Most of the people on club lexus are very conservative and thus will tell you what you should and should not put on your. These are also the same people that have never done anything daring to their cars and are not trend setting but followers. I think it looks great and if its barely rubbing now you shouldnt have any problems. plus you could raise it up like a .25" and it wouldnt rub at all probally.

hey btw since ur in FL also how much you get them for and from what shop?

You must have got a great deal or something...one of those too good to pass up things. Well, I would have passed. I won't say anything bad and I definitely won't say anything good.
