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

the only konis they sell for the ix are single (rebound) adjustable

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

16x7.5 et20 and 16x9 et15. 205/45/16 all around. Rear plastics arches are trimmed underneath and fenders rolled. Fronts clear fine. H&R sports/Koni adjustables.

Where did you get those Koni capable of being adjusted?

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!

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

[nando]

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..

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:

[nando]

it's likely, yes.

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

[325ix]

would a 10mm spacer and 225s require fender rolling? I like the wider tires but I don't really want to roll my fenders

[nando]

they will fit directly, but be far inside the fenders like stock. with a 10mm spacer you could run a 225/45-16, or a 15mm spacer for 205/50-16. if you want to push them out though you'll have to roll the rear fenders & trim the underside of the lips.

I just found a set of Drag dr-16s. They are a 16x7 in. wheel with a 40mm offset. What size of spacer would be required front and rear? Also what size of tire would you reccomend? Thanks so much for answering all of my questions.

[nando]

ET38 is probably too high. you would likely need a spacer up front to clear the strut. my ET36 wheels have a 3mm spacer to clear the brakes, and the tire is really close (granted they are much wider than usual).

try between ET35-ET30

[325ix]

Ok so more like an 8 inch et38 and I wouldn't have to run streched tires?
What are some 8 inch wheels with a lip that would fit? I'm partial to the sportmax 002 style I'd just rather have an 8 inch wheel.
Thanks

[nando]

Thanks so would a et15 work ona 8 inch wheel? And what tire size should be used? I can't stand stretched tires on an 8 inch wheel.

not a snowballs chance in hell without seriously stretched tires (maybe 195s at most).

double that number and you'll be closer..
