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

Anyone have pictures of iX with spacers... something that fills the well and more?

an ix with spacers or ix wheels with spacers?

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

What size tires are you running on the 14 x 6.5 basketweaves?

[pawi30]

and what spacers were you using with the TSW et 20 wheels?

225/50-14 Hoosier A5's

and what spacers were you using with the TSW et 20 wheels?

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.

[pawi30]

is it anyway possible to fit ET15 wheels on an iX?

[nando]

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

[pawi30]

9 inches?

[nando]

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.

[two240s]

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

I'll have some pics posted pretty soon

[nando]

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.
