ix

[M3 SPEC]

ive been told that regular 325is wheels wont fit on a ix cuz of caliper placement.
What wheels will fit lookin for somethin in a 17"
Need some lowering springs
if u have some ix or ix compactible high proformance suspenion im interested
i got a 1990 need a euro front bumper apron or m3 lip
Is there any to change gear ratio on a ix make gears longer
Lookin for one the best high proformance mechanic near the boston area

get wheels for a 4 lug VW, offset and center bore is correct.
H&R makes springs, bilstein makes front shocks, rear shocks are same as all e30's.
What you're probably looking for is an IS lip, euro lip isn't different and m3 doesn't have a lip.
There were 3.91 and 4.10 gears in IX's, if yours has 410s you can swap both the center and rear diffs to 3.91's...but you're not gonna do that.

whoever told you that is wrong

most of them will in fact fit. it would be like taking a regular E30, and putting 17mm spacers on any wheels you wanted to run. caliper clearance is exactly the same. on a 15x7" wheel you can go down to ET30 safely, ET24 if you don't mind rolling/trimming the rear fenders.

Of course you're not going to be able to run 16x9 ET0 wheels that a lot of guys like, but any of the OEM wheels will fit and most wheels that don't have too aggressive fitment.

do you have ix weaves? Does anyone know what spacers would be required to have a proper fitament of ix wheels on the is?

Regular E30 15x7" wheels should be ET25 if you want them centered in the wells. The 15x7s on the iX are ET41. The difference is 16mm. You can use 15mm H&R spacers and they'll fit perfectly.
