    I believe my blizzaks are 195/60 and the fit great on the stock rims.
    Yeah that's right. It's been so long since I've run the stock size I'm always a bit hazy on the 60 or 55. 205/50/15 ftw. hah. My winters are the same 195/60 then as well.

          nope. Well, they will "fit", but they're going to poke and rub everywhere.

            Shit. Do you know of any BBS style wheels in size 16 that will work?

                Holy massive pics batman! That thing would look good lowered. Still not sure about 16" vs. 17".

                  TBH, I say 17" (but not at stock height, sorry). The main reason is tires - 16" tire selection sucks balls.

                    Best tires for the stock iX basketweaves?

                    For all-season tires, the only options I seem to be able to find are a Kumho and a Dunlop (in 205/55R15). Do you run a different size tire on the stock rims? I'm new to tires and wheels, so please bear with me.

                      The current wheels I have are just the stock IX weaves and a 205/60r15 all season.

                        Which all seasons do you have? Like em? I'm wondering if the 205/60 15 tires fit well...

                        I also have IX weaves and I'm in the market for new tires. I'm hearing the new Kumho ECSTA 4X II tires suck - noisey, bad tread life, and get flat spots. Anything good out there now?

                          I couldn't tell ya. I'll let you know when I'm back in town. I'm at stock height and they fit no problem. Looks like there would be enough of clearance with H&R sports as well.



                          Hard to tell front the pic but the size isn't too bad. Slightly monster truck though lol

                            They fit but will look goofy with the huge sidewalls.

                              They will be the same height as Blizzaks but wider...

                              The options in tires sucks. I'm looking at Kumho ECSTA 4X II, Nitto 450 Extreme, Yokohama S Drives but that seems like all there really is.

                              I don't want a goofy looking setup which I agree it might. Better to be wide.
                              Any suggestions?

                                Thanks for sharing. That doesn't look too bad actually. Wish we had more options though...
