Also, Nitto has a new 20" tire out for 'sport compact' cars. If I recall, it's 225/30-20. I think BFG has one this size, too.
This would work well on the IS, but there is no matching (wider) rear tire to go with it.

You "might" be able to put 20's on in the front, but you'd never be able to drop your car.
Unless you got some 20x7 up front and a 215 tire on a high offset like a 49.
But is it worth it? running 19's will give you pretty much no tire as it is. With 20's it'll be a rubber band.
You can fit 20's in the back. 20x10 is pushing it. Ideally you want to go 45-48 offset up front and in back.
