Test fit some wheels i have for my MINI on the IX... just on the rear... they are a Advanti DST storm 15x9 35mm offset... Not sure they would fit up front... probably would need spacers?
Sorry the pics didn't work the first time :(

I also have IX weaves and I'm in the market for new tires. I'm hearing the new Kumho ECSTA 4X II tires suck - noisey, bad tread life, and get flat spots. Anything good out there now?
I'm going to try the kumhos this season. I end up on a lot of dirt/sketchy roads in the summer so I feel that I need an a/s tire. I'll let you know what I think. At only ~$300 a set I figure I'm not out too much if they are terrible.

Honestly they're not that bad. I have had them for well over a year and probably put 15k on them. All wearing fine at 4-5mm except one which I left on the left rear wheel too long (has 1mm of treadwear) due to 2.5 degrees of camber. ll probably flip it; Can't remember if they are directional. I drive the crap out of corners, dirt, and rain. They do the job nicely for a cheaper tire. The road noise isn't bad at all. People that complain about that drive econoboxes so all they hear is the tires. You'll be happy with them. I'll use them for one more season and then I'll switch over to a summer tire that won't suck in the rain. I just needed something that could replace the dry rotted tires that I bought it with.Build Thread

I've had the Kumhos in the past and they were not too bad but supposedly they've changed the materials and the reviews have gone from mediocre to pretty poor. My car sits for a while sometimes so getting flat spots would suck.
I decided to get some Continental TrueContacts in 195 60 15. I have PureContacts on my wife's E46 and they're amazing so I figured I'd give these a shot. Just mounted them today. Will report back.

I'm pretty sure the tires on mine are Goodyear. Not 100% but pretty sure.
Don't worry about the pics. They way this forum does it is really wierd. Other forums you can just upload the pic directly to the page instead of linking them.89' 325ix Diamantschwarz/Black rattle can...

iX wheel thread
I just picked these up for a pretty good deal locally since I think we'll do a couple autocrosses with this car this summer and I don't own any summer tires. ESM-001 16x8 et30 (?).
They have some pretty tired dunlops on them so I'm currently considering either the Dunlop star spec or toyo r1r in 225/45-16 to run in STX. Any input on either of those? Other options are slim in that size.
Then there's the ratty rally tire setup- stock weaves with 205/65-15 Lassa gravels.
Sorry, edited for massive pictures...Last edited by Fraser; 03-19-2017, 09:49 AM.

Love the way the 001's look on e30's. They sell them in 20 and 35 offset so I'd assume you have the 35 unless there is poke.
Also those rally tires look sick!
