Tire Size for Wheels??

[park123xyz]

Hey guys I'm sorry if i'm posting this in an incorrect section but I was wondering what the best tire size for a 16x8 et 20 bbs rep on a stock suspension 88' 325iX. I do plan to go about 2" lower in the future but I Still wan them to have some meat. Thanks guys! Heres a photo of my New iX.

205/50/16 is the best choice. Maintains the stock overall diameter.

16X8 et20 isn't going to fit well. It will rub badly and look like a donk. They wont fit at all if you lower it.

Really? Because a buddy of mine has 16x9 et15 and they fit great... I thought an inch less would be less agressive looking without rubbing.

Does he have an ix though?

No. How do they differ in wheel fitment?

[nando]

Yeah, ix is way different. You'd need et30 to et35 for it to work. I suggest et35 and adjust with small spacers to adjust.

Really? Wow. The site i used said 16x8 et20 would fit an iX with 5mm spacers up front...

Yeah, no way that would work, with or without spacers.

Do you think 15x7 et 20 would fit?? Whats a good looking pretty aggressive wheel for the iX?? Thanks for the help btw!!

Et20 is too low. Even et25 will rub with stock size tires.
