iX wheel thread

[H-M]

Yes they do fit :) Don't know if I can lower it anymore, though...




EDIT: Oh yes, sorry, the specs. They were a couple of posts before here, but here goes again:

Hartge 16x7,5 ET25 with 205/50/16 Kumho Ecsta

I think u should be fine w those specs and tire sizes. I'm running an et24 15x7 and still have room (and lowered).

[H-M]

I haven't really seen this discussed: will the Hartge 16x7,5 ET25 (?) wheels fit the iX? I see that there is a bit conflicting evidence, but has anyone done it? I have access to these kind of Hartges (with new Kumho 205/50/16 rubber all round) in good condition for 850 euros and to me it sounds like a bargain. But in case I can not use them on my iX, it loses some of it's fascination.. :) I have cabriolet though, that I can use them for. But for the iX they would kick ass, I think. My car is not lowered, I guess that lowering would ruin every possibility of fitting them...

OK thanks!

it may fit but it might need a 3mm spacer.

My dad just got an ix touring and is looking for rims, hes thinking 215/50/R16’s on a 8”x16” ET35 rim. I think it'll fit, but I wanted to check with you guys.

So there's not a lot of choices in 225/45/16. So I'm thinking 215/50/16 or 205/50/16? On 16x8

Where did you buy you're 225/50r15 tires? I'm looking for a good all season, and can't seem to find a store that even sells one.

[nando]

yeah, something thin like 3mm would probably suffice.

[CrazyPrime]

So I could just run a small spacer In which case it does not clear the strut, correct?

[nando]

225/55 is too tall. 225/50 is the right diameter. Whether it clears the struts or not is dependent on the specific tire, some run a little wider than others.

[CrazyPrime]

Anyone?

[CrazyPrime]

Would a 225/50r15 fit without rubbing on the stock ix wheel? Or would a 225/55r15 fit better I just want a little wider tires if possible.

[slc325ix]

225/50 will proably not work. 225/45 should, but you'll have to check strut clearance. a 3mm spacer would give you breathing room and you shouldn't need longer bolts, although I always recommend studs instead.

Thanks for the help.
