iX wheel thread

[fresh_TD]

If you have wheel studs on your car, you can just run washers and not have to buy spacers. I've been running washers on one of my e30s for years now, no issues at all.

Good idea! Thanks.

You can just stack washers for test fit. Measure the stack with calipers. Get the fitment you want, then order the right spacers.

I'd measure but my ix is under a cover and I'd have to take off a wheel. :p

[EyExR]

Ok. Thanks.

Guess I could just order 1 stud, spacer and nut to test...

[nando]

I think I have 75mm bulletnose studs (from VAC maybe? it's been a decade..). I think 57mm would be too short with a spacer, but I dunno.

[EyExR]

here's the ix weaves with 15mm spacers - this is only with 195/60R15 tires, a 205/55 or 225/50 would look better:


I think a 225/50 should fit the stock wheels just fine but only with spacers, otherwise it will rub the struts.

a quality stud kit is highly recommended BTW.

What stud kit are you using in this pic? I'd like to keep my center caps on like you have. I'm told by Ryan at Motorsport Hardware that only the 12 mm spacer with 57 mm studs will fit...

[nando]

Yeah, 6" wide? WTF?

That car is rather low. You had a camber/toe kit on the rear subframe?

No, just RWD subframe bushings. Rear camber has never been much of a problem.

[EyExR]

Agreed. Too narrow.

15x6... Ewww. :p

Personally I would never order anything from ECStuning..

[fresh_TD]

Et29 will definitely fit, because that wheel is only 6in wide

Man those look great.

Think the 29 offset will fit? And it says the hub bore is 57.1. Not sure what stock is - is that right on?

I think I may pick these up as a winter wheelset.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Almost tried these a couple years back as a winter setup. 15x6 ET29. To me these look more like real Alpinas than the Kopi's that were once for sale. A little narrow, but should work on our iX's

Looks awesome! I'm gonna do it. Thanks :)

Think these are quality enough? https://www.ecstuning.com/b-ecs-part.../ecs10167ktwb/
