    Mounted my new winter wheels & snow tires on the iX (15x7 Axis OG San)...

    15x7 ET35
    195/55/15 Michelin Ice
    10mm spacers (borrowed), since they touched the caliper on the iX

    I'm lovin' the new look! Initially i had on order euroweaves, but after waiting for 6-7months for them, i gave up and got these since i needed a set asap.

    btw can anyone recommend a place to order 10mm spacers + extended lugs?

    will post more pics of the entire car once i scoop up a set of spacers for all 4 wheels.




    (same pic, but filtered to see the webbing a bit better)

    Very nice!

    Get your spacers from Motorsport Hardware, kaliboy is the owner (I think).

    Edit: Just realized they don't have 10mm 4x100 spacers. 15mm wouldn't hurt, would it?

    Honestly I built it just to have a place to sit and listen to Hotline Bling on repeat.

      42 draft designs is the BEST place to get spacers.

      Motorsport hardware is hands down amazing like Lambo already said. They are a sponsor for my hardware on my e30. I would trust nothing else to daily drive and race on. Let alone the customer service is amazing!

      EDIT: those wheels look AMAZING on your e30. Euro weaves are really boring.

        thanks for the link, but you're right, they don't have 10mm 4x100s unfort.

        15mm would create some serious rub issues on the fender/flares. 10mm is the max really i can run given the offset of the wheels. Plus I usually carry a full load in my car on my snowboarding trips in the winter....so if it wasn't for that, i'd prob run a more aggressive offset/spacer.

          i was just on their site. Any idea if i should be using the "M12x1.5 Cone Seat Extended Lug Bolts" or the "M14x1.5 Cone Seat Extended Lug Bolts"?

          btw thanks for the compliment! I was very surprised myself. Better than i thought it would look to be honest.

            m12 and you will want a 57mm stud kit. Then pick of a small tube of blue loctite to use on the hub threading.

                  Motorsport tech will build you any size spacer for a reasonable price and good quality. I personally used them and was very pleased. Only complaint I had was one set took a while to build/ship but I was warned they were running behind ahead of time.
