Why don't Beyern Mesh Rims fit my 325ix?

[PartyMarty]

Why do the Beyern Mesh 17x7 4x100 ET27 rims fit the 325i and not the 325ix???

Is it the struts? I'm getting a complete ground control coil over system for my ix so will that change the situation?

I'm totally stuck on those rims so what do I need to do to make them work besides getting an i...or will the ground control conversion solve my problem?

Because of the offset bro

Offset.

OK guys thanks...but does the offset cause the rim to hit the strut? And does changing my suspension over to the konis ground control uses change that situation. If not, perhaps you guys know what can be done.

Read about offset.

iX's run a higher offest than other e30's. Coilover Suspension swap isn't going to change that.

Yes

No

The issue is not the strut, it's the fender lip. A lower offset wheel pushes the wheel outward, getting it closer to the fender lip.

Did you figure it out ? I suggest going with a rim that works. There are a lot of other bad ass rims like tuff bbs inspired ;)
