can i run staggered wheels on my IX . id love to run wider rims in the back and get the look of the fat lip towards the rear. anyone know is the evo can fit them in without caliper clearance problems?


how can you tell if you hitting peak boost on this car? all i know is that when i start hitting 3500 rpm at half throttle, the car starts pulling mad. am i hitting peak boost at this rpm? dealer said the ix is boosting at 20 lbs.... but when am i actually hitting/feeling the 20 lbs of boost? first turbo car... this is all new to me. any help would be nice.

The thing with running staggered wheels is that it puts stress on the drivetrain on the evos awd system (its not fwd or rwd), so its not really recommended

What I do is warm it up about a quarter of the way and take it easy (no boost) until fully warmed up. Only then do I boost. I do this every time.
