      here's all the wheels I've had on my car:

      16x7.5 ET20 TSW hockenheim R's:



      14x6 ET35 bottlecaps:




      14x6.5 ET30 basketweaves:




      15x7 ET24 euroweaves:




      15x7.5 ET34 (??? not sure exactly) 949Racing 6ULs with 235/50-r15 R888s:




      949 also list their 15x8's as fitting the ix.

      I've also got some ricer 17's sitting in storage I keep thinking of sticking on just for pics. :p

          an ix with spacers or ix wheels with spacers?

          either way, I just posted pictures of 3 different setups that do just that. ;)

                No spacers.. that would push the wheels even further out. Honestly they weren't a great fit, they might work on my car now with the fender work but you're stuck with a 205 tire. Plus they were really heavy.

                    that depends on the width of the wheel, but you'll most certainly be stuck with stupidly skinny tires.

                        if you want to run 195s.. sure. but, yuck.

                        you'd want a much higher offset for 9s. not even sure if they would fit at all. hardest part is the rear.

                          et15 9" wide will fit on the rear of an IX with the fender rolled. 205/40/16

                            but with 205/40s.. why even bother?

                            you could fit an 8" wide rim with 225s front and back no problem

                              oops, I meant 205/45.

                              why? for looks of course.

                              different strokes you know...the cars not getting tracked and it's not a high performance car either. 205's are stock width so it's not like I'm losing any tire.
