help with wheels for the 325ix

[downforce22]

Enkei RF-1 s should fit right?


215/45/17
17x7
4x100 / 114.3
et between 38 and 42
bore 72.6 with 57.1-73 hub centric rings?

[325ix]

That is nearly stock specs, I can't imagine why it wouldn't.

[nando]

yeah it will fit, but it will sit pretty far inside the fenders.

[325ix]

Is it at all possible to fit trm c1s in 15x8 with 235s? They are about $60 cheaper than 949s.

[nando]

no, not a chance, even with 205s they will rub like mad.

the 949's are direct fit on an ix with just the centering rings (which you don't really need if you use studs). to fit a 225 on an 8" rim and a decent offset you still have to roll/trim the rear fender flares.

[325ix]

I was expecting the roll and trim. Is there any other set of wheels that will fit in a 15x8?

[nando]

nothing that's more than ET35 or so is going to fit. the 949's are really your best bet for a light weight, affordable, wide 15" wheel.

Ok, I am not too fond of the style of wheel, but I guess it doesn't matter. I found a few enkei wheels with an offset of 25, but that is as high as they go.

[nando]

Yeah, still too low. even with a 15x7 it would be pushing it, an 8" wheel is going to be way too much.

[325ix]

Damn, I guess it will be the 949s unless something else pops up. With that wheel I could run a 235/50 with some rolling and trimming of the fendres, correct?

[nando]

yes, you'll also need a sufficient rear spring rate for 235s, H&Rs aren't going to cut it.

I plan on doing GC with the shortened housings and shocks up front with the camber plates, then 600f/700r springs. Is this the best it gets for dialing out understeer. If anything I would rather have a little oversteer.

ESM002GL

16x7.5 // et20 // center = 57.1 // 1.5" lip...

will these fit? if so with what tire size, little less meat?

[Kershaw]

i run 15x7 et26 and i barely rub. only at full lock or very very hard cornering.

h&r sports with bilstein HDs too.
