[AWDBOB]

15x8 +36
205/55 Direzza

[nando]

Too low for an 8. No, spacers push the wheels out more.

15x8 ET25 73.1CB stock suspension, How tight would they be and would spacers help?

[ludovic]

no, ET28 is too low for an 8" wheel/225 tire. you could maybe run a 205, but I'm thinking that would probably rub in the back anyway.

Thanks Nando, 16x7 all around it is, then !

[6A LDY]

Yeah that's what I figured.

Like a good neighbor nando is there!

[nando]

yeah it would rub over dips/bumps and with people in the back, not terribly but it could be annoying after a while. you could trim the rear flares and roll the fenders and it would fit fine.

[6A LDY]

spacers make the offset lower, so no, you don't need spacers. ET25 is already a bit on the low side, but they should fit just fine with stock suspension and 205/55 tires.

Oh thanks for clearing that up. It would be pretty tight with the hr and bilstein setup then

[nando]

Thanks!

So this definitely rules out the m3 16" weaves. Too bad 16" weaves painted nogaro grey would look nice on any E30.

But what about the alpinas 16x8 with et28 any chance that we can fit those on the back of our ix with 215 or 225/45?

I am still not sure.

Any help would be appreciated as I am in the process of ordering alpinas but still hesitating on taking the plunge on 16x7 front and 16x8 back or 16x7 all around...

Thanks guys!

TR Motorsports C1 would easily fit with stock suspension, right? or would I need to run 5-10mm spacers?

they are 15x7, et25, with 205/55 tires

Im a big fan of how they look, I was going to get the black ones I think. Plus they're pretty inexpensive, which is always a plus

[audiquattrot]

Those should fit fine. Was even thinking of those wheels myself. My acs are the same size and offset

you're not going to fit 5 lug wheels on an ix with adapters unless they have a really high offset, like ET40-45. or unless you want ultra super stance poke.. but I might suggest the ix is the wrong car for that.

Thanks!
