The rear looks awful. I hate when people leave the rims sticking out from the tire.

Now I know what people are talking about when they say 2IS guys don't understand.

That's great fitment. People complaining about curb rashing and potholes, don't do this mod.

So if I can put a 195 tire on a 9 inch wide rim and get it to hold air and stretch more than Louis Armstrongs cheeks that would be perfection?? I seriously doubt that that tire/rim setup would outperform even the stock 17" setup, not to mention the horrible ride quality that those rubber bands must exhibit. We probably do 5-10 tire and rim combos at my shop every week(and I must say that the IS is probably the lowest car that we have done) and I would be ashamed to let any of them roll like that.
