ix rim/tire fitment questions

[imwhyteyo]

i appreciate the feedback, i wasnt aware of the difference in the hub. would it be fair to say that you could have the backspace of the rim meeting the hub machined down 20mm resulting in a et20 rim? provided the wheel had enough meat to it to do so?

which wheels are you trying to put on? brand/model...

Rota grid-V:mrgreen:, in here is one E30 where are those rims under.....
but I going to put them

Et20 is too low for a 16x8 even with an undersized tire i think.

New update.....This is only rim without tyres
Your right, those do not fit. Only problem is that funking brake caliper bracket...
Tested whit 5mm spacer and a very small grinding the caliper mounting bracket....Not fit roll, that is the only problem, rim spoke hits the brake caliper bracket. Next i tested whit 10mm spacer, then i have to roll the arc

Little anger management

Ok, i try, i take some pics when those wheel+tyres come

it might work with out rubbing but it will be close, and it will poke quite a bit. something closer to ET27-30 would be more ideal for a 16x8. if you subtract the extra hub spacing on an ix from ET27-ET30, you end up back at about what ET20 does on a standard E30.

back to ET0 wheels on an ix - you're not going to be able to get an ix low enough even if the effective offset wasn't closer to ET-10. Even if you got shorter springs, you only have about 2" of travel with H&R sports, you would basically have no suspension.

there is a reason there's no info on it.

keep us posted. Was also curious about the 16x8 ET20.

Et0 is simply not going to work.

I do not know if anyone out there tried the ET rims .... If it is possible then I recommend fit and take pictures of the car then
My betting is that there is room fit on rolling


For me is coming 8x16" 20ET, maybe tyres fil be 205/45...I take some pics when i get them.
But here is some others topic, if If you've already read them

Im curious if anyone had ran any 0 offset wheels on an ix, being that the fender plastics wont really roll with the fender, what are people doing for fitment? Or is it impossible? Theres a ton of supporting info f or the non ix models on 0 offset( which without proper suspensions and body work looks awful imo) , but does the flares on a facelift body help with the poke? Im on h+r blues, and billys and just want to see if anybody has done anything ix specific.
