[O HELLA BMW]

Hello everyone I have a 89 325ix sedan an was
Wondering what's the flushest offsets possible on a IX ?
I'm hearing only +35 ? Is that true??

I will be dropped on billy hd shocks and handr sport springs

Any help is greatly appreciated

Nope. I ran 15x7 et24 with a stock size tire and I was lowered on bilstein hd and h&r sports. It only slightly rubbed the rears around really hard cornering. And I wasn't pulled, rolled, or trimmed at all.

You could definitely lower the front a lot more, the rears were ok. The fronts were ok in flushness but the rears could definitely have used another 10mm. Although, for hella flushness, the fronts could have come out at least 5mm and the rears 15mm.

So... 15x7 et20 f and et10 r are totally doable. No experience on wider rims.

Since I have AWD, don't I need the same size and width for my rims?

You need the same diameter, width can be different, but I would rock a square setup on an IX, no need for extra rubber out back as you have AWD traction

Try to get a hold of drmcdave. Iirc he ran 17x8's with coilovers on his ix.
