Got the wheels in. Perfect fit, same as the other member that tried 18s on his Pro. Made in the USA, too, surprisingly! Happy to report these will fit on all US ID.4s, RWD and AWD.

Nice! Also the EA in Binghamton looks to be open as of today! PlugShare - Find Electric Vehicle Charging Locations Near You
Free EA charging for any of your ID.4 customers. 😬

Finally!! Just went and tested it out and talked to an i3 owner.
A set of Hankooks are ready to go! I chose these for my RWD because I need all-out snow traction for my backroads commute - noise and efficiency be damned. I believe these and the Cooper Evos will be the best in unplowed deep snow, while the others will excel in ice and hard-packed snow.
I currently have those same Hankook tires on my Jeep grand cherokee for the last 2 winters and they are great in the snow both hard packed and deep, and great on crazy CO 4wd offroading. They are very loud and will that will be more noticeable on an ID.4.
Yeah, it’ll be interesting to see how they fare on an EV. Do you think the ID.4 is a little bit better insulated than the Jeep? I’m holding on to that hope…
I went from an deep-tread tire like this (General Altimax) to the Michelin X-ice on my old Tesla, and while the snow performance noticeably decreased, everything else was a little better. (Noise, efficiency)
No, my Jeep is very quiet with other tires.

... but you have a well insulated Grand Cherokee. Other lesser Jeep models I've owned were quite loud on the highway and especially when adding even more off-road capable tires.

Thanks for this thread and for confirming that 18" wheels will fit over the front rotors on all models.
Just a suggestion regarding the wheels: the similar looking Enkei PX-10 wheels are $29 more each on tirerack.com, but their weight is 20.7 lbs compared to 27 lbs for the American Eagle wheels. Though I'm uncertain what kind of efficiency gain that would lead to, perhaps some people would prefer that as an option.

Nice find. I’m definitely open to any wheel on there!
I was also thinking about efficiency/range improvements by keeping the 18s on next spring and running an efficient all-season tire. Even with the American Eagle wheels, the assembly is still lighter than the 20s. A lightweight 18” like the Enkei can only make it better. It looks very similar. Curious if the AE wheels are slightly stronger due to their weight.

I've done a lot of reading yesterday and it seems the wheel's weight probably has a marginal effect on efficiency after all. The design and aerodynamics of the wheel are really what makes the biggest difference. A smaller wheel is generally better mostly because there is more sidewall surface and less total open surface through the wheel.
I can offer larger combo discounts on the tires in post #1. However, other tire options still allow me to beat Tire Rack's $80 pickup discount. If you'd rather not drive to Delaware or Connecticut to save money picking up your winter set, maybe I'm closer?

My price: $1515.00 + tax
I've also been considering selling the mounted Hankook set as a "floor model" for an even greater discount to clear out some space and kick off the first sale. $1075.00 + tax, one time only. The black AE900s just went up in price by ~$10 a wheel, so this will be an unusually low price for a while. Pending sale 10/23

That's a good price for a wheel+tire combo. The Enkei wheels would be much better in quality and performance than the AE.I can offer larger combo discounts on the tires in post #1.

The Hankook RW11 + Black wheels have sold to a Youtube commenter! Who's next?
If you're ever willing to trek out to Oneonta maybe I could be swayed...
Glad this thread has been useful.Total newbie when it comes to tires. I usually just get what Tirerack says fits and then look at CR and see what they recommend. So, this thread is great. My AWD is in route and I am thinking about getting winter tires installed as I have in the past with my Jetta. On the Jetta, there were never any issues, but I am not sure here anymore. The OE tires are staggered, but I don't think the ones you are selling are. Any problems with that? Also, are you willing to meet in Buffalo? I am going there from time to time.
Edit: will going to 18 inch tires require recalibration of the camera? Tire/wheel logic - any auto engineers here?

The ID.4 in Europe has non-staggered fitments, as long as the overall diameter is the same as the stock staggered set (it is with 235/60-18) then the car is none the wiser. No need for any camera re-cal.
Buffalo is a bit of a hike for me right now, I don't think I could swing it - too busy with the tire gig every weekend and a baby. Sorry - if you can make it within an hour of Binghamton I could probably make something work.

If you choose same revolution tire per mile like the factory tires you have on ID4...there will be no need for recalibration.
