I thought myself the IS Wheels would look good on the LS but they won't fit probably. 17's should look nice, and stock ride height with spacers might look good also. Pics please.

Any downfalls to running spacers?

if installed incorrectly they can cause vibrations.
they also effectively change the wheel centerline, altering the scrub radius and thus changing the handling characteristics.
it really depends on what size you end up with. 5mm is negligible but 25mm will be noticeable.

id sell those is300 wheels and get gs400 wheels. look almost the same but nicer, and better specs 17x8. youll still need spacers though.

is300 17x7 will look skinny and funky in my opinion.

These were free, and I like their look as well
