    it's likely, yes.

    if you really don't want to roll them, stick with 205/50s and a 10mm spacer.

      Cool thanks. I have one more question. Would a 15x7 et 10 work with 205/50/15 tires? I'm new to wheels and what fits so I really have no idea how to know. Thanks again for answering all my questions. :mrgreen:

        no that won't even fit

        on a 7" wide wheel at ET24 you would need to roll the fenders, at ET10 you'd be sticking out ~10mm past the flares..

          Could the flares be rolled 10mm to make them fit?

            O.Z. Graphite Chrono 16x7 et37

            These were replacements for a set of Mille Miglia MM-II's that were "permanently" borrowed. These have a harder look and are not as easy to clean. On the good side they are lighter than the MM's and haven't been curbed - yet. Available at Tire Rack for $200 a pop. S-Drive tires are excellent!

              Where did you get those Koni capable of being adjusted?

                  Sorry for the noob questions but if I do get the Konis my IX would look like that?

                    By look like that do you mean height?
                    Then no, you would need some different springs for that. Shocks just control dampening.

                        Two240s iX has the SICKEST fitment/wheel choice i've seen recently. Props!

                        Carry on.

                          I have a chance to buy some awesome wheels in et19, they are 14x7. would these fit without a ton of work? and anyone know of any good tires in 205 50-60 14? they make some legit tires in 195, but id like the extra width.

                            not really any good tires in 205/60-14

                            ET19 is also quite a bit too low. you could probably get away with a 195/60-14 with that offset and width, but that will still be a bit tight in the rear.
