Ronal Turbos running snow tires

ronal turbos are probably one of my favorite sets of wheels, I'll be looking for some when I get an IS and sell my IX.

anyone have pics of 15 inch kosei K1s on an ix?

btw those mud tires are sweet ^^

what lip is that?

Reiger Lip with a splitter.

Looking to build a winter rally machine this summer, I am curious whether or not anyone has ever rocked Compomotive's on an iX. Narrow wheels would be perfect as I am going with skinny snows. Not aware what is out there, would offset be correct or obtainable with spacers?

7.5x17 et22 on mine

[Kershaw]

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..

just wanted to reiterate this. although you probably can get away not doing it, but you will rub.

im running 15x7 et26, with 205/50/15s (azeni 615s) and i only rub if i go full lock, and its only at the very end. i've been meaning to roll my fenders so i dont rub, but its just not that big off an issue. a few squeaks when i pull a 3 point turn and thats it.

what's the largest couple sizes you could run a 17x8 wheel in on an ix?
What about the lowest offset? I'm looking into maybe making space at the body side lip and using the skirts instead, if that would help with clearance.

The reason I ask all this is, I have 20mm(F)/25mm(R) spacers for 17x8 wheels I'd like to put on for the summer.

For an iX, an an 8 inch wheel needs a 30-33 mm offset or so (I'm sure Nando willl chime in). As for tires I suppose you could do a 225, but my guess is that 215's are more likely to be available.

[nando]

215/40 is the most common size in 17" that's close to stock OD. that should work fine on a 8" wide wheel and give you a bit more wiggle room for offsets.

note that any 7.5" or wider fitment basically assumes you've trimmed and rolled the rear flares/fender lips.

Do the AC Schniter Type 1 wheels et25 fit an iX?

Thanks

[downforce22]

^^ you need about 15 mm spacers to fit those

the offset is a little too low for a meaty tire fitment, but they may just barely work with a 205/45. you will definitely have to roll/trim the rear fenders &h flares.

no.. that would make them stick out even more. no ET10 16x7.5 wheel is going to fit well on the ix unless you're going for the ultra stretched/stanced look.

+1 ^. Spacers are just gonna push those out further. It's actually a pretty close fit to my Alpinas.....the tire size nando suggested might make them doable.
