IX wheels on a 325i

[ill4noreason]

I have an 89 325ic right now I have 14x6.5 with a 30 mm offset
I want to put on 1989 15x7 ix wheels with a 41 offset
so my inner clearance will be 17mm less (the inside of the wheel to the strut housing)
and my outer position will retract by 5mm
Outer Position: (position of the outside edge of the wheel

what does this mean as far as spacers go? and also what kind of lugs will i need?
thanks in advance! I have searched like crazy and have not found a real clear answer other than 15 mm spacers but if I dont need them than I'd rather not run them...

you need them as well as longer lugs. Get a hold of Rob, a member here, he can get you spacers with hub rings, and bolts.

cool I sent him a pm. I want a wider tire but want to keep the stock look wheel so its the best I can find for the money... thanks

I ran them for a while on my vert. I ran 15mm in the front and 20mm in the back, with 205/55's.

how did it handle? better than the stock 14x6.5? why did you take them off do you have any pics of them on the car? i have a vert and want to see what they will look like but cant find anything online that says what size spacers are used. thanks

You have to space them out at least 10mm.



I have them on my sedan. My specs are ET16 front, ET11 rear.
