    they look exactly the same as 15" euroweaves, except maybe half as much lip.

            Hi all,

            325i on IX weaves with custom made 17mm spacers and 205/55R15 tires:







            It is easy to appreciate that the front tires fit is tight regarding the track width, but looks just fine. On the back one's I consider that increasing tire width can improve the looks a bit, also adding a bit wider spacers could work.

                as 14" weaves? no, because they are wider. ET30, 6.5" vs ET24, 7"

                if you wanted to make the ix weaves the same offset as euro weaves you'd need an 18mm spacer

                      They will rub on the spring mount/base and/or shock. If you have IX weaves with offset ET41 you'll need the spacers.
