iX wheel thread

Ok that's what I figured. If I decide to go bigger then I'll be using a wider rim with higher offset. I think.. Thanks Nando!

6.5 is a bit narrow. I wouldn't run more than a 205 on that. It will fit just fine though.

Hey R3V, Riken Mesh wheels 15x6.5 et35. I'm pretty sure these will be fine since it's a 6.5 inch wide wheel. I have some Falken Azenis 205/50/15 to match. This is my >$200 autoX wheel and tire setup and I don't want to or plan on rolling fenders/ trimming the IX Bodykit. I have the tires but haven't purchase the rims yet. If anything is a red flag let me know! Also what's the biggest tire that would fit on a 6.5 inch rim? Would a 225 work if I decided to do all of that and get a bigger tire?

[nando]

yep!

no. not unless you like extreme poke and lots of rubbing.

Would I have to run like a 30-35 offset?

I know this has probably been covered before but would 16x8 et20's work?

Thanks for that. Got the flares off and yes all the clips broke. I assume once I roll them the holes underneath the lip will be useless as the plastic will need to be trimmed away anyway, correct? I will still use the holes on the outside of the fender to mount them back on right? I see what you mean about that tape, its pretty strong.

As far as tires, I have been looking at some calculators to compare sizes.

The current set up: 215/45/17 sidewall height= 3.81 rev/mi= 819.7
Considering : 225/40/17 3.54 837.7
225/45/17 3.99 808

Stock: 205/55/15 4.44 845.1

Still trying to decide between the 40 or 45's in the 225 width.

On one hand the 40 is closer in revs/mi as stock so my speedo will be more accurate again, but shorter sidewall than my current set up which means it may not rub but then again I don't want lower profile tires.

I think the 45's might look better and be less jarring over bumps but I'm afraid they might rub even if I roll the fenders.

Someone push me in the right direction.

I loved my rk's but they were cracked, i ran 205/45r17's nice square stance on the wheel and left a little cushion

215/75/15, iX Weaves, 20mm spacers in front, nothing in back. Still rubbing a tiny bit on the drivers side strut, and I'll have to run KA Motors Ultrawides. Stock ride height.

im looking for some rims mainly for daily driving. will 15x8 et 35 fit well with 205/55r15. sorry for the noob question but iv always had stock rims on all my e30s. thanks btw the rims im looking at are the kosei k5r.

[kslbo308]

there must be 16" wheels that will fit without adapters?

I think the offset is too low. might fit with a 205/45. they will likely rub in the back fenders and when the wheels are fully turned up front.

Hi guys! What do you think about 8x16 ET25 rims with 205/50 R16 tires ? Does they fit 325ix?
Thanks a lot!
