Default wheels/ tires question

I was wondering..will the eibach pro kit dropped on 20s work for the is? I know it will rub but even after i use a heat gun to push the fender well,will it still ride okay. Any tire sizes recomended?

i just ordered 20s from derrick at D2 autosports (site vendor) and i am dropped on eibachs. The wheels i got are custom made, so i will not rub even with 20s and a drop, but yeah 20s with most tires will only rub a little and the heat gun will fix that.

here are the tires that derrick recommended to me for 20x8.5 and 20x10:

235/30/20 F
275/30/20 R

some people use 235/35/20 in the front (more sidewall for protection) but you will have to use the heat gun if you get those.

I would check out the aftermarket wheels thread at the top of the IS350 page (sticky) to find out many peoples setup.
